Contents/Summary

Summary
A film about a dream, tundra and a nomadic nation of European Nenets. Vorga is the Nenets' sacred trail, which the herdsmen have used for centuries to move their herds across tundra, all the waz to the Barents Sea shore. Contemporary Nenets are different…they live in villages, they do not want to be nomads anymore. They traditional nomadic culture has almost merged with the Russian culture, a nomadic Nenet is disappearing… The oil refineries quickly take up the vast areas of tundra, parts of the sacred trail are damaged by trucks. Yet there still exists the original nomadic life at the end of Vorga deep in tundra! Silence and Peace. Rustle of the sea and noice of the wind. Slow time flow and limitless freedom! But only until the helicopter comes…
