This is an animated short film - read carton - of an Inuit legend . I have no idea if it is a legend or if it's something the animators made up but the story starts with the backstory of a young woman being thrown in to the icy waters by her father and the Inuit fisherman being terrified of fishing there . One day hunger forces through necessity a fisherman to cast his lines in that part of the sea

At this point I found myself hoping Iain Duncan Smith hadn't seen this in case if gave him any ideas about getting the unemployed back to work and you worry he'll be watching this rubbing his chin thinking " Ah yes intense hunger always brings out the latent work ethic in human beings "

As the story continues we have grotesque imagery that is almost as scary as anything in the present British government . The fact that it's animated helps a lot because it be rather difficult to realise through live action and it does have a very gloomy atmosphere possibly down to the sound effects that set the mood perfectly . It has an ending I didn't expect and I won't ruin it for you but anyone who likes animation will enjoy this short film by Nora Twomey
