Dalarna County, Sweden, February 2021. In the midst of the harsh Scandinavian winter, two Italian mushers prepare to tackle an adventurous four-day and three-night sleigh ride, between fjallets and frozen lakes, in the company of their trusted team: 12 Siberian huskies each. From the daily activities of dog care and training, to the preparation of all the materials useful to face the excursion along the trails of Sweden, we closely follow the sporting and human journey of Luca and Anselmo, between difficulties and moments of pure emotion, on the trail of extraordinary snow-covered landscapes of a lonely and wild territory.
