This may very well be a first for our fledgling little site. I mean, if Todd himself admits that he doesn't think he has ever come across a film from Greenland then where the hell have we been all this time? Where do we start? What do we call it? Greenlandish? Greenlandic? Gimme a sec... ... Greenlander! Nuummioq is a Greenlander film. Why do I get the sense that I'm getting myself into trouble here? Moving on...
We have been alerted to a trailer for the film and the official site is kind enough to have English content as well. Here is the synopsis...
After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, Malik joins his best friend on his last boat trip into the fjord.
Malik is a 35 year old carpenter living in Nuuk. Things are starting to look bright in Malik's life, when he´s diagnosed with terminal cancer and faces a difficult decision: Leaving his hometown to recieve medical care that would perhaps prolong his life - or stay in Nuuk with family and friends and die within a few months. Malik and his childhood friend Mikael decide to go on a the last boat trip into the fjord, where they seek out the carefree world of their childhood. During this boat trip, the two friends rediscover their friendship and Malik is given an opportunity to come to terms with his own imminent death.
You may be in the same boat as us and have never come across a film from Greenland before but there is no disputing that directors Torben Bech and Otto Rosing haven't shot a beautiful looking film from the trailer included. Nuumioq opened in Greenland back on November 1st. We're gonna have to do some more digging for this one.
