This contemplative anime follows Yasunaga Ogita, a seasoned traveler deeply connected to the Arctic landscape. Drawing from his extensive solitary expeditions and friendships with Inuit communities, the work presents a visual journey through the frozen north. The narrative unfolds as a series of quiet observations – wildlife encounters, the subtle shifts in weather patterns, and Ogita’s profound sense of immersion within the natural world. It emphasizes the cyclical rhythm of life and the intimate relationship between humanity and the environment. Subtly interwoven throughout are reflections on the growing urgency of climate change, prompting consideration of our impact on this fragile ecosystem. The experience evokes a feeling of peaceful solitude and encourages mindful awareness of the delicate balance of nature.
