Igloolik, Spring 1945. Inuaraq's family finally arrives at Avaja to a warm welcome. But on the hill above the tents, they now find a wooden church and a priest. Sharing the fresh caribou feast, telling stories, Inuit are interrupted by the bell ringing. Inside the church the sermon is clear: Paul 4:22, "Turn away from your old way of life".
