The Zharkov family – mother, father and two sons – represent one of the last remaining indigenous peoples of the Arctic, the Dolgans, and they continue to live a nomadic way of life in the extreme north of Siberia. Seven-year-old Zakhar and his older brother Prokopy already have their own reindeer and their own herding grounds. Zakhar is an inquisitive and intelligent boy. Every day he comes up with hundreds of new questions about the world, and he is surprised to find that his new teacher does not always have answers to them.
