Overview
In 1917 Finnish explorer Sakari PÀlsi travelled to Northeastern Siberia carrying a cinematograph and 13,000 feet of film with him. The journey produced a unique documentary film and a travelogue. A hundred years later director Kira JÀÀskelÀinen returns to the Bering Strait in PÀlsi's footsteps. Combining old and new film footage, PÀlsi's notes and the stories of the local indigenous peoples, the film highlights the story of the Chukchi and Siberian Eskimos from bygone days till today.
