Gert is a nurse who is appointed headmistress of a special state-owned children's home in Greenland, 1951. The children's home accommodates 16 carefully selected Greenlandic children, who have just come home after a year of civilization in Denmark. They are to act as role models for the Greenlandic community. Gert is idealistic and ambitious and feels passionate about saving Greenland from destitution and hopes to help spearhead Greenland's transformation from being a poor hunter society to being an equal part of Denmark. But her blind faith in the experiment leads her to underestimate the obvious personal costs to the children. And when both children and state fail her, she finds it harder and harder to maintain her idealism… (Zlín Film Festival)
