This is richly textured and evocative film about love, war and the choices people make in order to find a place in the world. Two children meet in a Canadian hospital and fall in love, one an Inuit boy from the Arctic, the other a Native Canadian girl (characters played later on by Jason Scott Lee and Anne Parillaud). The girl chooses to pass as white, and in that choice the conflict begins. Their story takes us to wartime Britain and beyond, and manages to surprise you by taking unexpected directions, and by avoiding a Hollywood ending.
