POLARIS

​

A film by Ainara Vera

​

Hayat is a skilled seawoman who sails across the Arctic,

navigating far away from people and her troubled youth

in France. But when her little sister Leila gives birth to a

baby girl Inaya, the promise of new beginnings is on the

horizon. We witness how the sisters’ worlds are turned

upside down, each going on a deeply personal journey,

guided by the Northern Star to overturn their family’s fate.
