    • Synopsis
    • Atka, a hunter who lives isolated from the world on the Arctic plain, struggles to keep Aga, his lifelong partner and terminal patient alive. According to an old Inuit legend, when people die one part of their souls returns to life in a newborn relative. Aga has no children of her own, nor relatives living nearby. Plunged into deep despair she makes a mystic journey, travelling through different people who are also closely related to the sea.
      In Namibia she travels with Peya, a sailor who in order to atone an old sin crosses an impenetrable desert in an unrelenting effort to reach the rusty carcass of a stranded ship. She guides the steps of Tehura, in Tahiti, and together they venture across the ramblings of a city where sex and death are two sides of the same coin. In the north of Peru, through the enigmatic song of the whales she shares the grief of Damaso, a mechanic who loses his dog Mochica in a thwarted theft. She flees to Bali with Waluyo, a trafficker of exotic animals, who is sought day and night by his younger brother, a deaf herder who has traveled all the way from the mountains carrying their father’s last message. Jonathan, a surfer who confronts the wrath of the sea day in and day out, finally becomes the messenger of Aga, who fights desperately to hold on to life.
      Blue frontier is a film about man and his life cycles. But it is also a choral story about the sea. About voices that come and go with the tide. About the sound of the cities lost beyond the line of the horizon. There, where someone awaits.
