Imagine a place where the next sunrise is four months away, a constant hurricane is blowing outside, and there is no escaping. The New Zealander filmmaker Anthony Powell has been living in Antarctica and spends a year with his camera in the extreme conditions. Life in a small research community resembles a human experiment with its various mood swings. Antarctica aptly portrays the simplicity of nature and human life, while reminding us that all life has its purpose, even when we don’t see it.
