According to the traditional Eskimo system of beliefs in the afterlife, the dead can return into the world of the living up to five times. The tragic death of Mukha, a member of the Yupik community, is the basis for a cinematographic narrative dealing with yet another perception of eschatology in the cultures of polar regions.
