They are known as the "reindeer people”. The Tsaatan live with their families and animals under extreme conditions in the north of Mongolia. This film is a spectacular journey into a timeless universe that miraculously still exists.

Long isolated from the outside world, the nomadic reindeer herders have preserved all the traditions of their ancestors. They practice shamanism and live in simple tents in winter temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees. They say they are happy to live like this. Free, in the midst of sublime and protected nature.
