This documentary follows human life from birth to grave. It traces this human portrait by inviting us to the Arctic Circle and examines the entire life cycle from start to finish. In this poetic film we see that everyday lives are dictated by the rhythm of the seasons. Travelling begins its journey with these words: “Life, here, but a reflection of the moon on water, taking it into your palm you wonder: is it there?
