Arctic explorer grandfather, Olukine, who went missing two years ago. Convinced that no-one has looked for him in the right place, she sets out with a pair of earrings as a bargain, to find a crew who will take her to the Far North, where she believes Olukine’s ship went down.

This is a beautiful handdrawn animation, filled with great snowy landscapes, stormy seas and adventure, from French director Rémi Chayé who worked on The Secret of Kells. English language version.
