Summary:Paulusie lives with his adoptive parents in the remote Inuit community of Inukjuak (the Inuktitut word for "giant"). He's a caring son to his ailing father and a good boyfriend. The extreme landscape of Inukjuak--where life and all its routines are controlled by the weather--determines if Paulusie is out doing what he enjoys most: hunting and fishing.
