Contrasting lifestyles of the inhabitants of the far north in days gone by with those of the present, this short animated film presents a telling analysis of the changes wrought in the lives of indigenous people by the advent of modern 'civilization'. The grim stoicism of the old timers is brilliantly contrasted with the lassitude and directionless attitudes typified by the title of the film in the present day lay-about life style to which they've now become accustomed.
Very well written and drawn, the theme is certainly a compelling one. Anyone further interested in the changes in these people should check out the same filmmaker's 'Angry Inuk'.
