Every winter Thursday a nobleman drives off alone in a secret sledge and returns before dawn. His curious coachman hides on the runners and finds himself racing above the clouds, among glowing sledges driven by the spirits of the Northern Lights. A story of what the old Estonians saw in the winter sky.

This film was made together with collaborators from the Lakota, Inuit, Tohono O'odham, Diné, Sámi, Finnish and Estonian peoples.
