The First Day
Poland, 2007, 20 Min, Russian, Hebrew Subtitles
 
The children, aged 7, are separated from their tents, their families and their native way of life on the frozen plains of the Yamal Peninsula. Taken by boat or helicopter, they find themselves on their first day in the Russian education system. A far cry from nomads to the 21st century.
