Way up in the far northwest of the Russian Tundra lies the picturesque village of Krasnoschchelye. Its inhabitants, indigenous Sami people, live from the ancient tradition of reindeer husbandry. Once a year the reindeer herders are celebrated for their labors in a festival that features a reindeer sleigh race where they can display their skills. But the Kolkhoz is insolvent and it looks like the festival might have to be cancelled - a symbol of the Sami tradition and culture in Russia, currently threatened with extinction. 30 years old Sasha, a member of the newly found Sami parliament in Russia fights for the festival and the survival of her village.
