What We See

The story follows the sisters Uyarak and Saqpinak, played by directors Kunnuk and Tulugarjuk, who grew up in Igloolik, Nunavut. Set during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film reveals the sisters' individual handling of trauma, their need to express pain, and the importance of speaking out for healing. A crisis can re-open old wounds, but also act as a catalyst promoting the need to confront these memories, and be a means to find strenght and solace through communication with other people.

The directors have crafted the film through collaboration in the writing and editing process. By combining improvised scenes and adapting filming to COVID-19 restrictions, they convey heartbreaking information subtly, and the film's collective perspective is reflected in the title.
