In a yurt on the snow-covered fields of the North, Nanook and Sedna live following the traditions of their ancestors. Alone in the wilderness, they look like the last people on Earth. Their traditional way of life starts changing – slowly, but inevitably. Hunting becomes more and more difficult, the animals around them die inexplicably and the ice has been melting earlier every year. When Sedna’s health deteriorates, Nanook decides to fulfill her only wish: He embarks on a long journey in order to find Ága, their only daughter who has left the icy tundra a long time ago.
