The nomadic Nenets live in the far north of Siberia. At the edge of the world. Their nomadic way of living is threatened by the massive extraction of oil and natural gas and the ever faster thawing of the permafrost. This documentary serves as a glimpse into an unknown world that lives in harmony with the rhythm of nature.
