Film Information & Synopsis

THULE, set in 1962, at the height of the Cold War, is the story of a group of young men who, amongst an unknown frozen landscape of darkness, learn the meaning of friendship, communication, loss and the undeniable power of sacrifice. When the delivery of a mail drop fails scattering letters around their airbase, these young men undergo a dangerous rogue mission to salvage any news from home. Tragic, yet ultimately uplifting, our story is about a hero that gives his life to something bigger than himself and, in doing so, enlightens the other men and the viewers of how important it is to live.
