Synopsis
In the heart of the Rocky Mountains of the Canadian Yukon, in the depths of the high altitude, Norman is a musher trapper who lives in the most solitary, traditional way possible, with Nebraska, a Nahanni Native American, her two horses and her seven hitching dogs. Husky. He gives himself the role of monitoring nature and regulating species.
Disconnected from the desires created by modern society, they feed on the products of hunting and fishing. Norman lives in self-sufficiency and makes his own huts, snowshoes, sled, canoe and all he needs with the wood and bark taken from the forest, and Nebraska tanned the old-fashioned leather.
Once a year, in the spring, Norman makes a trip to the nearest cities of Whitehorse or Dawson City to sell about 150 skins and furs of lynx, beavers, martens, otters, wolves, foxes, caribou, elk ... and buy the little he needs: flour, matches, candles, tobacco, batteries for his transistor, tools, medicine, shotgun and ammunition.
