Kolya and Sasha live in a small whale hunter community by the Bering Strait in Chukotka, Russia. While their father reminisces the good old days, the two brothers try to find their own paths in a world where the traditional way of life is being challenged by poverty, alcoholism and globalization. There are only dreams of something better. Without using many words, this film raises some difficult questions concerning the young generation of First Nations of the Arctic.
