Her er de grønlandske billeder, som ingen troede eksisterede. Her er skatten af oplevelser, følsomhed og vilje til livet, nogle med en lukker slugt mellem fortid og nutid. Her er menneskelivet og det oprindeligt næsten forsvundet. Her er billeder af et folk, der altid har været afhængig af deres egne kræfter, og her åbner hele den grønlandske motivcirkel: sommer- og vinterbilleder, udvendig og indvendig, morksab og patos. Hvert billede fortæller sin egen historie og åbner muligheden for stadig at blive dybere.

Here are the Greenlandic images that no one believed existed. Here is the treasure of experiences, sensitivity and will to life, some with a closed gap between past and present. Here, human life and it originally disappeared. Here are pictures of a people who have always depended on their own powers, and here the whole Greenlandic motif circle opens: summer and winter pictures, outside and inside, morksab and pathos. Each image tells its own story and opens up the possibility of ever getting deeper. (From jacket notes)
