Slash/Back, 2022.

Uki is putting all the invaders on notice.

For those who don't know what movie it is: it's the summer solstice in a small inuit village in Canada. A group of teenagers are going about their day in the usual boring summer way while some animals start to behave weirdly. Soon, one of them discovers why and, after they are attacked, they decide to use their inuit hunting skills to defend their village from the unwelcome intruders.

They mainly speak English but some Inuktitut is also spoken by some of the parents and the radio. All the titles and credits are both in Inuktitut and English.

Teenagers looking like teenagers and behaving like teenagers.

The Crush is the most average boy ever but it obviously doesn't matter.

Capturing the greatest hits of adolescence such as not having much to do, nowhere to do it, anywhere will do or there is a super duper great party that is just a bunch of kids your age with whom you don't necessarily speak and also, again not much to do there.

As any teenage story goes, parents are unavailable. In this case because they are partying in the local festivity.

Fighting the big monster is perfectly compatible with arguing with your friend about your crush and about whether or no she also likes him.

One of the girls doesn't want to join the hunting party because she is scared. Her friends try to encourage her a bit but she is still afraid, so they tell her it's ok and give her a mission she can do that will also help and that is actually also important, while keeping her save anyways.
