There, Robert Peary, an American explorer, thought more than 100 years ago, that the only way for a human being to reach the North Pole would be to have children with Inuits, "to create a super-race that would combine the Eskimo strength and the shrewdness of the Westerner." Following in the footsteps of this extravagant theory, this film essay marches in search of that super-race.

Greenland is in the middle of a process of industrial development, a stark contrast to the former way of life. In the film, which was shot in Sisimiut (Holsteinsborg), a group of Greenlandic women talk about their work and their position in the workplace, about the need to organize themselves, to stand shoulder to shoulder in order to improve working conditions and wages. The women, working as shrimp pillers, tell with bitterness, but also humor, about their lives and the double work that they have to endure. The 'royal' hand-picked Greenlandic prawns are viewed here in relation to the repeated abdominal infections the women suffer from, and their political struggle related to labor and gender.
