In this Inuit legend with the sense of wry humour an owl falls in love with a goose, and is overwhelmed by the events that follow. Clearly, to the Inuit, the foolish owl has broken an important rule of the North: don't try to be something other than what you are, otherwise you won’t survive. Old Inuit women who remember mimicking animal sounds to help with the hunting have made the soundtrack of voices and effects. (Anifilm)
