In touching pictures the film brings us near to the life of Russian reindeer breeders. Their annual wandering rhythm is determinated by the movements of the reindeers and the harsh conditions of their arctic homeland. Although their life is beyond imagination for us they talk about hopes and fears that we can understand thanks to the directors, Edgar Bartenev, ability to approach them. The future of their traditional life is highly endangered by building new roads, railway lines and energy tracks. The film ends with a smart smile of Gosha the 17 year old head of the family.
