When puffins leave their nest on Vestmannaeyjar, they often get lost. Birta and Selma have made it their mission to bring the fledglings back to the cliff.
On a remote Icelandic island, teens Birta and Selma rescue pufflings (young puffins) from imminent danger; as pufflings leave their nests for the first time, they often get lost in town, mistaking the harbour lights for the moon. Over the course of one night, we follow Birta and Selma as they take it upon themselves to counteract humanity's damaging impact on nature; exchanging night-time parties for puffin rescues. A coming-of-age documentary about growing up and making choices, Puffling explores the delicate interplay between wildlife, the environment, and human life.
Heydi returns to the old hunting grounds with her nephew to retrace the path and inspect the new hunting trails. She leads Ibaw step by step into her hunting world.
This film is about Heydi Mijung, the only female hunter in the Truku tribe, who follows the ancestral tradition of Gaya, practices the traditional hunting skills of the Truku, and maintains the balance of the entire forest with her hunting methods. The Woman Carrying the Prey expresses women's perseverance and strength by extension – “carrying” is not only about the physical weight but also about the continuation of the hunter's traditional hunting culture.
The relationship between human, ecology and animal interdependence is gradually built up through the daily life of a female hunter in the mountains.
