Nalvana habite avec sa maman dans une petite ville où l'hiver est toujours plus long que l'été. Elle adore se déguiser en superhéros et rêve de découvrir quel est son superpouvoir. Car Nalvana a l'impression que tous ses copains ont des superpouvoirs. Elle a des amis super rapides (qui gagnent toujours les courses), des amis super habiles (qui construisent toutes sortes de belles choses), et des amis qui réussissent un million d'autres trucs. Nalvana finira-t-elle par découvrir quel est son superpouvoir?

Grand-père Baleine parcourt le globe depuis bien longtemps. Il adore raconter à son petit-fils Aarvaq toutes les choses incroyables qu'il a vues au cours de son existence. Les voyages et les histoires d'aurores boréales et d'icebergs titanesques sont fascinants, mais au bout du compte, les expériences les plus grandioses restent celles que l'on vit en compagnie de ceux qu'on aime le plus au monde.

Dans un petit village inuit, Nalvana porte une cape de superhéroïne et cherche désespérément son propre superpouvoir. Autour d’elle, ses amis en ont tous un : courir plus vite qu’une motoneige, voler, sculpter la neige.
