In this documentary, we go back to the beginning and tell the origin story of Scotty the T. Rex and how it was discovered on that fateful day in 1991. We also showcase the lasting impact the discovery had on the town of Eastend and the Paleo world in Canada. In 2019, Scotty was proclaimed the biggest in the world. Believed to be a female, she measured over 13 m or just over 42.6 feet long and weighed over 8.8 metric tons. Discovered in the dinosaur-rich Frenchman Formation, Scotty's bones have been carefully preserved and are stored at the T. Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, Saskatchewan.

Polar Life’s novelty was its theatre, with the audience seated on a central rotating turntable in the middle of eleven fixed screens. Viewers have described the intricate juxtaposition of screen images and narration and the complex relationship created between moving spectators and multiple screens. Documentation images and scripts of the bilingual narration by Lise Payette and Patrick Watson show elaborate temporal and spatial representations of the Arctic and Antarctic regions: the Inuit in daily activities in the Canadian North; other northern peoples of Alaska, Lapland, and Siberia; and settlers from the South, scientists, explorers, and other inhabitants of the landscape, including reindeer, bears, and birds. Archival film footage of early northern explorers, combined with newly shot documentary footage, was edited across the various screens to create spatial relationships that are sometimes coherent, sometimes fragmented.

The film depicts where life can begin and where it can lead for a filmmaker, and in the journey between existence and non-existence, it illustrates where the mind and heart can reach through the medium of cinema. The mentioned filmmaker, as ever, surrenders himself once again in the depths of the forest with his camera, adding a new film to his life and beliefs. For him, cinema and the life he reaches through cinema touch upon all the emotions and thoughts that can be questioned in the world where he resides and is tested by its absence. The nature he reaches thanks to this journey is something presented to him from nothingness. Unable to decide what to do with this nothingness, the filmmaker, ultimately makes a film that he can present to people with the nature bestowed upon him. The resulting film essentially belongs to a day of the man who roams in the forest and points his camera at the trees.
