Year: 2025
Genre: Thriller
Country: Canada
Film was filmed in the remote Arctic landscapes of Nunavut, Canada, capturing the story of Siaja, a young Inuk woman who decides to leave her unfulfilling marriage and embarks on a journey of self-discovery in her tight-knit hometown of Ice Cove. The production took advantage of Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut territory, and its smaller neighboring community of Apex to create the fictional settlement. With a population of around 7,400 people, Iqaluit provided an authentic backdrop of Arctic life, complete with snow-covered terrain, frozen lakes, and the vast emptiness of the Canadian north. The series explores themes of identity, community bonds, and personal reinvention against the backdrop of one of the most isolated inhabited places on Earth. Interior shots were filmed at the Iqaluit Curling Club, which was converted into a production studio, while exterior locations ranged from residential streets to visitor centres and churches, all contributing to a believable portrayal of life in a small northern community.

Real
Scene was shot a small residential neighborhood of Iqaluit located about five kilometers southeast of downtown, sitting along the shore of Frobisher Bay. Apex has historical roots dating back to the late 1940s when the Hudson's Bay Company relocated operations there, and Inuit residents settled due to restrictions on access to the nearby U.S. Air Force base. Today it remains a quiet community with stunning views of the surrounding Arctic landscape.
