Northern Wind can be Warm

Põhjatuul võib olla soe

The hermit, philosopher - reindeer herder Alexander live alone for many years in the heart of the arctic taiga in Yakutia. Hundreds of kilometers of forest, mountains and tundra are his home. His life is an endless struggle for survival. Instead of a shop- there are mountains, instead of a refrigerator-a stream, instead of the Internet- a walkie-talkie. He was not in any city 20 years. But one day he wants to go on a world tour: to see Tibet, Rome, Australia. But now deer, nature and a dream - are all that he has.
