Greenland's endless expanses of snow and ice fill the screen in this calm and beautiful movie. Told in sparse dialogue, the story is slow paced and gentle. Two young men from Paris, France, who are both named Thomas, visit the one's father who lives in a remote village in Greenland. They witness what his daily routine is like and spend time at gatherings with the community, laughing and chatting. At night they talk quietly about this and that since the constant daylight makes it difficult for them to go to sleep.

The Thomases are both mild mannered and soft spoken, and there is very little conflict in this film. It mostly shows a slice of life in this remote village as experienced by the two visitors. The modulated tones and wide empty vistas make this a relaxing and meditative film to watch.
