In Siberian forests lives the last family of the Evenki reindeer shepherds. They have recently lost
their whole herd. Just like all other Evenks without reindeers, the family will soon have to move
to another world. Their son, Kola, is already there. "Gugara" is the observational tale about the fall of small Siberian community. The film shows the world of ex-nomads and reindeer shepherds who are forced to abandon their former life style. This world is full of contradictions and emptiness.
