In the heart of the Arctic, the Yamal peninsula is the world’s largest gas exploitation zone, a symbol of Russia’s energy hyperpower. The NENETS have been pasturing here for over 200 generations. Can they survive this industrialisation? An environmental and Arctic western, this film explores the emergence of the Northern Sea Route and the disappearance of the last Siberian route of transhumance: the success of one may mean the extinction of the other.
