Iqaluit is a 2016 Canadian drama film directed and written by Benoît Pilon and starring Marie-Josée Croze, François Papineau and Natar Ungalaaq.
She uncovers the secret relationships he had with the Inuit community, and becomes acquainted with an Inuk man (Ungalaaq) struggling with a related family crisis.
Gilles is a French Canadian working in Nunavut while his wife, Carmen, lives in Montreal and leads a career in marketing.
The affair ended after the birth of the child, with Gilles offering financial support and buying Noah's carvings to help the family.
Noah's family arrive at the site in a state of panic, telling him Dany has abducted Ani and Simigaq, and gone into the wilderness, armed with a rifle.
Dany was pressing Gilles for money before accusing him and other whites of coming to the Arctic and seducing local women, including Ani.
After the situation with Dany is defused, the group takes their two boats back to the mainland, with Carmen asking Ani if Simigaq will ever know about Gilles.
