Film still from "Wrong Husband," directed by Zacharias Kunuk (Canada, 2025).

In this captivating historical drama about an arranged marriage, set 4,000 years ago, celebrated Inuk director Zacharias Kunuk follows the story of a boy, Sapa, and a girl, Kaujak, whose union in marriage is promised by their families from birth. Known to each other as “future husband” and “future wife,” their peaceful existence is disrupted after the sudden death of Kaujak’s father. When her mother marries a man from another camp, the two are torn apart. The promise of a better life quickly turns to a nightmare, with aggressive suitors backed by an evil shaman vying to win Kaujak’s hand. But Kaujak resists, holding on to hope that Sapa will one day make things right.
