White Moss - Love and tradition clash in the frozen tundra 

Set against the backdrop of blizzards, frost, and the endless white of the tundra, this film follows a young Nenets man torn between two worlds: his lifelong love for a woman who has chosen comfort in the regional center, and his duty to uphold the traditions of his ancestors.

Reindeer herding, survival in the permafrost, and the eternal struggle against wolves embody the weight of responsibility he cannot abandon. Through anguish, jealousy, and desire, the story reveals that love in the tundra is inseparable from survival, heritage, and the unbroken cycle of life.
