In 1917 Finnish explorer Sakari Pälsi travelled to north-eastern Siberia carrying a cinematograph and 13.000 feet of film with him. The journey birthed a unique documentary film and travelogue. A hundred years later director Kira Jääskeläinen returns to the Bering strait in Pälsi's footsteps. By combining old and new film footage, Pälsi's notes and the stories of the local Indigenous peoples , the film tells the story of the Chukchi and Yuit from the days gone by till today.
