The Necessities of Life - Cinequest Film Festival 2009


What’s most important in your life?

Recipient of the Audience Award, Special Grand Prize of the Jury and Public Prize for the Best Canadian Film at the 2008 Montreal World Film Festival, The Necessities of Life tells the moving story of Tivii, an Inuit hunter diagnosed with a lung condition, uprooted from the warmth and familiarity of his family and confined to a sanitarium in a strange, foreign civilization. Stripped of his ability to communicate and disoriented by isolation, his will to live is slowly weakened.
