On the eve of his wedding, young Alyoshka pines for an earlier love. Ilne chose to leave the nomadic Nenets community seven years before, moving to the city and taking his heart with her. Under increasing pressure to marry, Alyoshka struggles against the ancient Nenets customs of home and family, unwilling to give up his hope for another life. Meanwhile, other painful transitions shake the foundations of the small camp. Deep in grief, Ilne's father Petko feels he has no role left to play in the community, while Vanu strikes out on a difficult journey to try to soothe his troubled friends. Deep in northern Siberia, minor human tragedies play out against the cold expanse of the tundra.
