In northern Alaska, a nomadic tribe, decimated by famine during a glacial winter, abandons its two old women to save the rest of the clan. Far from giving up, the women use their knowledge of the land, their skill and the memory of their ancestors to survive in the snow, proving that age does not make them useless.
