Climate change has reached the indigenous Nenets people in the north of Siberia. The nomads' herds of reindeer move on thin ice. The warming in the Russian Arctic is becoming dramatically visible. Huge craters open in the thawing permafrost and expose dangerous viruses and bacteria. Forest floors dry out and the taiga catches on fire. The pack ice off the coast is melting and depriving polar bears of their habitat so that they approach human settlements in their desperation. The changes in the nature of the Arctic Circle combine with the measurements of researchers and observations of the indigenous people to form a disturbing overall picture: In the Russian Arctic, Pandora's box has been opened! The film team had the chance to shoot in regions that were been restricted areas for decades. The documentary shows in impressive and depressing images already existing effects, phenomena and ominous interlinkages of global warming.

A window into Russia, unknown to Western man, and even to many Russians. "Russia - the largest country in the world. In many of its parts, it remains unknown world full of wonders. Let the world and will continue for the generations that come after us".
Russia - In the Realm of Tigers, Bears and Volcanoes
Coup de chaud pour les Rennes de Sibérie
Henry Mix
In the Yamal peninsula, in the northwest of Siberia, the Nenets live to the rhythm of seasons that are now out of order. Faced with increasingly mild winters and an unstable ice cap, these nomadic reindeer herders are forced to delay their transhumance, caught between a food that is drying up and the risk of drowning in the Ob River. Elsewhere in the Arctic, signs of global warming are mounting.
