In Yamal, nomadic reindeer herder Mikhail Vanuyto travels hundreds of miles across the frosty tundra with his family. Mikhail's son and his wife Nadezhda are expecting a newborn any day now, but they will need emergency assistance, as Nadezhda has a congenital heart defect.
Medical assistance in the tundra is provided by doctors from sanitary aviation. They have great experience providing first aid in all conditions, even on board the helicopter, so they can handle any task. However, the medics must plan each flight in advance and decide whom they can help along the way. They gather meteorological data and coordinate the route with the pilots. The cost of flying hours is high, so making a one-way trip for a single patient and returning empty is expensive.
The main priority for the Vanuyto family right now is to get a stable signal and send their coordinates to the doctors so they can arrive in time to ensure Nadezhda's safety and help her deliver a healthy baby. But they can be sure that, no matter the weather, help will come.
