Nanook of the North

Synopsis

Nanook, his wife Nyla and the rest of their Eskimo family arrive at a trading station after several days trekking. They barter furs for goods while Nanook listens to music from a gramophone. The traders explain that the sounds come from a record, but Nanook, who is familiar with the songs of whales tries to eat it. The nomadic family continue on their travels searching for food. A group of Eskimo men fight and eventually kills a walrus.
