Summary
Returning from a hunt, an Inuit Canadian named Tivii learns that he
must present himself with his family on a health boat for a medical
examination. When he is diagnosed with tuberculosis, Tivii leaves
his wife and children to be treated in Quebec. He is sent to a

him an object of fun amongst the other patients. Only his
immediate neighbour makes an effort to understand
him...
