Captain in the Arctic, Hayat sails far from the rest of humanity and his traumatic childhood in France. However, when her younger sister, Leila, gives birth to a daughter, Inaya, the promise of a new beginning appears on the horizon. The worlds and lives of both are turned upside down. Guided by the North Star, they embark on a deeply personal journey to overcome the heavy family destiny that binds them.
«A path of rebirth and hope, that of Hayat, in which we can reflect and recognize ourselves individually and collectively: it is testimony that the negative spiral that sometimes seems to engulf everything, in private life as well as in society, can be broken, and that the strength of life can overcome even the greatest difficulties”, he commented Mauro Leveghipresident of the Trento Film Festival.
