Magsar and Ankhaa raise their children and reindeer in a remote valley in northern Mongolia. How do they cope with the onslaught of winter in the high taiga? Chloé and Dominique want to find out. The kindness that emanates from their symbiotic relationship with the animals is matched only by the warmth with which they welcome their first winter visitors. The winters are long and Magsar and Ankhaa work hard to secure a future for their families. Thanks to them, the new generation now has a choice: stay on the Great White Steppe and take over the herd, or leave for an uncertain future elsewhere, probably in the city. The choice is theirs.
