A tender, meditative encounter between two isolated souls—one on Earth, one in space—who transcend language and circumstance to share a profound moment about mortality and connection.

Aningaaq, an Inuit fisherman camping on the ice over a frozen fjord, talks through a two way radio with a dying astronaut who is stranded in space, 500 kilometers above Earth. Even though he doesn't speak English and she doesn't speak Greenlandic, they manage to have a conversation about dogs, babies, life and death.
