When she lands in Greenland for the first time, cultural geographer Daniela Tommasini (In Groenlandia, Ponte alle Grazie) is captivated by its light. From then on, she tries to return as often as possible, setting aside her Western gaze. Her love story for a land so distant yet so close includes the Northern Lights and the enchantment of the fjords, traditional costumes and drum dances, bone amulets and a few taboos, but also American air bases and gold mines, curious social experiments, great expeditions, feared annexations and forced relocation programs. Above all, however, there is so much friendship. Because Daniela experiences Greenland as only a native can. In conversation with author Leonardo Bizzaro.
