In the northernmost part of the Yakut Tundra, Vladik, a young Dolgan reindeer herder, stands at a crossroads: he must decide whether to follow in his fathers footsteps or join the modern mammoth tusk hunters. His father Roma, rooted in traditional beliefs, advises his son to heed the warnings of their ancestors and avoid the bad omen of unearthing mammoth remains. Driven by the financial gain of the tusk trade, Vladik gives in to the temptation and begins his journey, but at what cost to his family, heritage and the fragile ecosystem of the Tundra?
