Synopsis

1953. Charlie Halliday, a former WWII fighter pilot, is a Yellowknife-based bush pilot. Like many of the white in the area, he does not associate with the Inuit except for what he can get out of them in bartering.

On a personal plane trip, he runs across a small family of nomadic Inuit. The female of the group, named Kanaalaq, has what Charlie suspects is tuberculosis. In exchange for some ivory, Charlie agrees to fly her to a hospital in Yellowknife.

En route back to the city, Charlie is forced to make a crash landing when the plane develops mechanical problems. Although both Charlie and Kanaalaq are unharmed by the crash, the plane is totaled, they are in the middle of nowhere, the radio doesn't seem to be working, they have a meager amount of supplies, and Charlie's whereabouts are probably unknown to others since he made a detour from his original route.

Furthermore, they can't communicate with each other as Kanaalaq only knows a few words of English, whereas Charlie knows no Inuktituk. According to his map, Charlie estimates it is one hundred miles to the closest town and decides to walk.

He soon learns that he is not well equipped for outdoor life in the north, at least not as well equipped as Kanaalaq, who is in her element. He figures that things can only get worse for both him dealing with the elements and Kanaalaq suffering from her illness as the winter snows approach.

The soundtrack of The Snow Walker truly captures the sense of isolation and survival in the harsh Arctic landscape. The haunting melodies and atmospheric tones enhance the emotional depth of the characters' journey, making the viewer feel the cold, desolate beauty of the setting.

Additionally, I felt that the soundtrack did not effectively convey the cultural nuances and complexities of the relationship between Charlie and Kanaalaq. The lack of authentic Inuit musical elements or traditional instruments left me feeling disconnected from the characters' experiences and hindered my ability to fully immerse myself in the film's setting.

I found the soundtrack of The Snow Walker to be quite disappointing, as it failed to capture the emotional depth and intensity of the characters' journey. The music felt generic and uninspired, lacking the power to truly enhance the storytelling and evoke the harsh realities of the Arctic wilderness.
