This is quite an engrossing little movie that seemed to have a BAD edit at the end, keeping us in suspense. This is the documentation of a typical Eskimo family surviving in Western Alaska. We see how the women cook, the children learn, and most fascinatingly, how the men hunt. ingenious ways of trapping fish are shown. Soon, the father of the family goes out to hunt for a seal, he puts his boat into the water and the narrator says "But Look!" and the film ends with a "The End!" (This is actually quite amusing) What happens? Did he catch a seal? We may NEVER KNOW...
