In the remote sub-Arctic boreal forest of Northern Mongolia, near the Russian Siberian border, the Tsaatan people live as reindeer herding nomads, maintaining traditions that date back thousands of years. As one of the world's smallest ethnic minorities, their way of life is now threatened by a new government mandate requiring children to attend school from age six. This presents a heartbreaking dilemma for Tsaatan families, forcing them to choose between preserving their traditions and complying with the law. Through the story of Magsar and his family, the film explores this pivotal moment in the Tsaatan's history, showcasing their deep connection to their reindeer, their isolation in the taiga, and their resilience in the face of a fragile and threatened existence.
