At 10 years old, we all dream about our adult life. But Thibaut had a very precise idea : one day, he will become a musher. Except that Thibaut grew up in the North of France, in a family which hate dogs, and he never left his native region. Today, he's 41 years old, and he's giving himself a challenge: be part of the biggest european trainee dogs running, in the north of the Polar Circle. This means that he will have to leave his family for three months and fight the "Great White Silence" loneliness and dangerousness.

Through a rare immersion in an Andean community, the film explores what it really means to "resolve a conflict" in a society where violence is neither hidden nor denied, but ritualized, regulated, and followed by public reconciliation. Takanakuy is not a spectacle: it is a social language, a way of preserving collective balance. Following Simon's path, the narrative shifts from the fight itself to its invisible consequences: acceptance by the group, inner transformation, and the symbolic weight of a gesture that one only performs once in a lifetime. The film then questions our Western view of justice, forgiveness, and reparation, and poses a central question: what remains when we agree to confront our fears head-on, without detours or staging?

Buoyed by the imagination of Jules Verne, who once contributed to the international renown of the land of the northern lights, Christine Oberdorff adds the black-and-white imagery of award-winning Icelandic photographer Ragnar Axelsson. This new opus navigates between what characterizes the island of fire and ice: the imaginary and the real, from the bluish reflections of the caves at the top of Snaefellsjoküll that made Jules Verne fantasize, to the performance of geothermal energy and carbon storage, thanks to which Iceland intends to find remedies for global warming, of which it is one of the Arctic "thermostats".

In the heart of Bangkok, a spiritual master, Ajarn neng, has spent decades passing down the ancient tradition of Sak Yant, where sacred tattoos are believed to offer protection, strength, and a connection to the unseen. Around him, disciples devote their lives to preserving a practice rooted in faith and ritual. Over seven years, an outsider slowly becomes part of their world, discovering what it means to believe, to belong, and to carry a tradition beyond the skin.
