Based on an Inuit traditional story passed down orally for generations, The Cannibal tells the horrific tale of a family experiencing starvation when the animals they rely on for survival disappear. While the wife stays alive by eating plants she gathers daily, the husband does the unthinkable, resorting to murder and cannibalism. Horrified and terrified for her life, the wife eventually finds herself alone in camp with her husband. She knows what will happen to her if she does not find a way to escape.

Hatching a plan to escape to her family's camp, the exhausted wife embarks on the journey with her murderous husband in pursuit. After safely arriving to her family, she shares the story of what has become of her camp, and her own children. Soon the husband arrives, and the wife's family must decide how to deal with the cannibal.

Both horrific and poignant, this cautionary traditional story provides a window into the at times harsh realities of traditional life.
