WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 1909, Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen (Coster-Waldau) leads an expedition to ice-covered Greenland, and recover the bodies of those lost to the ill-fated Denmark expedition, which attempted to disprove the theory that Greenland was split into two pieces of land. Mikkelsen is accompanied by inexperienced crew member Iver Iversen (Cole), and soon the two of them are left to face the bitter cold as they attempt to complete their mission…
