Seitsemän laulua tundralta
Seven Songs from the Tundra

seven  Songs from the Tundra

This is the first film written and directed by a Nenet artist in collaboration with a Finish film director. 

Seven stories from the life of a Nenet nation from the distant parts of northern Russia. Life is not easy here when it does not freeze and snow, the earth is infested by billions of mosquitoes. The first film about the Nenets in their language is remarkable for depicting a not very well-known nation and its strange peripetia.
