Based on the novel "The Heart of the Bear" by Nikolai Baturin
The magic of Siberia brings hunter Niika back to the lands of Nordic people. Despite of the hospitality of the Nganasan people it turns out that Niika's destiny is not in his own hands but will be determined by the forces of nature. He can rediscover himself only when he is ready to experience passion and pain, desperation and unforgivable sin. He must meet his own shadow, to love a woman for whom no one else is left, and to kill his friend. The only way to escape his fate is to get the heart of the bear.
