Wind Has No Tail

Nika, one of the youngest daughters in the Yamal nomadic family, is about to start school for the very first time, and follow her older sisters to the boarding school. The village administration will soon arrive to take her away, and before she leaves, she receives guidance from a nomadic teacher assigned to prepare her for this significant transition. However, given Nika’s young age, questions arise about how she will cope and whether an alternative might exist. The film's observational style and beautiful cinematography highlight the complex reality of this transition. Wind Has No Tail, made with close involvement by Nenets representatives, portrays their rich folklore and raises concerns about children's rights in a society with limited options.
