UIKSARINGITARA: WRONG HUSBAND TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (TIFF)
Follow Kaujak and Sapa in this Arctic fairytale set in an Inuit community.
Uiksaringitara: Wrong Husband, Zacharias Kunuk
Uiksaringitara (2025) is entrenched in themes of remarkable resilience among the Inuit people, and is imbued with both the fantastical and the folkloric from start to finish. A story of whimsy and hope—carefully told by director Zacharias Kunuk—is meditative, reflective, and world-enlarging. In this Inuk fable, you are isolated, cold, and enclosed—forced to endure distance over contemplative horizons, while you yearn alongside the young betrothed couple as they embark on a journey back to one another.
