Within the Polar Circle in the remote Baidaratskaya tundra at the shore of round like moon lake there is the Land of Hope. Here the writer Anna Nerkagi and her forty adopted children build their paradise. Anna knows that she can’t change the world but her task is not to allow the world totally dissappear. She turns the time anticlockwise trying to reconcile labor, belief and national culture of her people. The name Nerkagi is translated from the Nenets language as “Clan of Unbending People”.
