Kalak

2024

Jan, a nurse who is also a father, was sexually abused by his father as a teenager. Working in Nuuk, Greenland, he tries to connect to the culture with sex. When someone calls him a Kalak, a Greenlandic word with a double meaning of both a "true" and "dirty" Greenlander, he wears the epithet as a badge of honor. But ultimately he has to confront his father.


Kalak premiered at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2023 where it won two prizes, Best Cinematography and Special Prize of the Jury. The feature was also nominated for Best Nordic Film at Göteborg Film Festival 2024 and for Best Feature Film at Torino Film Festival 2023.
