Synopsis
Neko is a member of the Nenets people who live in the Siberian tundra. It is the eighties, and under the former Soviet Union, the Nenets are being driven off their lands on account of vast gas reserves that are underneath their homelands. Neko lives with her father and grandmother in a tent in the middle of nowhere. They paddle their kayaks, catch fish, and play and sing shamanistic songs which are handed down from generation to generation. But then, one day, Neko's mother takes Neko away and puts her in a Soviet boarding school against Neko's will. All at once her idyllic childhood comes crashing to an end. Instead of freshly caught salmon, she gets porridge in the school's canteen, and numbers are used to add up instead of counting reindeer and fish. It just cannot go on, Neko must escape.
