The winner of the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival far back in 1966. It is a short half-hour documentary which the author dedicated to the eponymous main character, his life and his travels, a well-known explorer of polar expanses, most of all the Artic - Knud Rasmussen, who lived at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century (1879-1933). It is interesting to note that the author, also a big fan of traveling, took part in numerous expeditions to Grenland as well.
