When the American aluminium giant ALCOA decides to build their next aluminium plant in Maniitsoq, Greenland, the citizens of the small fishing town have high hopes. Could this be the first major step towards Greenlandic independence? But as years go by and ALCOA is nowhere to be seen, the people of Maniitsoq fall into a state of waiting. The future has been postponed, but for how long?

‘Winter’s Yearning’ is an ambitious documentary from Greenland about dreams, lives on hold, and the human capacity to rise again. It premiered at the prestigious film festival CPH:DOX in 2019.
