A mystery package is tracked on its journeys by canoe, dog sled, in a ship’s hold, and even in an airplane cockpit. Along the way, it encounters unusual characters and passes through uncommon places. Carried by delivery workers from remote parts of the world, the package will, after many adventures, reach the recipient who has been waiting for it for weeks. In an age of globalization, social networks, and immediacy, the delivery of this package offers a glimpse of a different way of life.
