The Arctic, wide open plains, a small wooden hut, one marine biologist and 95,000 walruses. Fatigue, crowding, panic and a fight for survival. The oceans are becoming less ice-covered, the walruses have nowhere to rest during their migration and arrive on land exhausted. Many of them can no longer continue on. This gripping Oscar-nominated documentary captures one of the devastating impacts of climate change in a minimalist but extremely powerful way.

The film has been nominated for the 2023 Oscar for Best Short Documentary and has won awards from the Palm Springs International Film Festival 2022, the Berlin Interfilm 2022, the Angers International Film Festival 2023, among others, as well as the IDA Award 2022 for Best Short Documentary.
