Energetic Ivanna lives with five children in a tiny sled car. She belongs to the nomadic Nenets, who breed reindeer in the Arctic tundra. It is a rough but also free life. However, she no longer has her own animals and will soon move to the city to work. The father of her children already lives in the city, drinks too much, she can’t count on him. The city holds many dangers and it is uncertain whether modern life will be better. But Ivanna is strong - she also seems to have captivated the camera.
On May 13, this film will be screened simultaneously at NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DESIGN as part of our #Junction_Ahmedabad, followed by a shared discussion.
