Ésta es la historia de una familia del Cairo y de un clan de mujeres donde el arte de bailar se transmite de madres a hijas desde tiempos remotos. La matriarca conduce a la vez familia y negocio, a veces con paciencia, pero casi siempre con mano dura. El punto de encuentro familiar es un pequeño apartamento donde afloran constantemente las quejas y súplicas de las hijas. Allí, el caos, el miedo y las discusiones también dejan espacio a la ternura, la vulnerabilidad y la esperanza de una vida mejor. La belleza en bruto triunfa sobre la realidad más cruel.

Cinematography
Shot during three seasons, Kenuajuak's documentary tenderly portrays village life and the elements that forge the character of his people: their history, the great open spaces and their unflagging humour. Though Kenuajuak appreciates the amenities of southern civilization that have made their way north, he remains attached to the traditional way of life and the land: its vast tundra, the sea teeming with Arctic char, the sky full of Canada geese. My Village in Nunavik is an unsentimental film by a young Inuk who is open to the outside world but clearly loves his village. With subtitles.
