An arduous journey of rebirth, a mutual enlightenment between man and bear. Sometimes we fall into darkness to better meet the light. Nastasia Martin, a young French anthropologist, has lived with the indigenous people in the Arctic Circle for a long time. In 2015, she encountered a bear on her way over the Kamchatka volcano and was bitten off half of her jaw. She miraculously survived, and the crisis in her life really began: she was transferred to many hospitals in Russia and France, tied to a bed, had a metal plate implanted in her face, underwent repeated surgeries, intubations, and infections, and was interrogated by the secret police and watched by curiosity hunters... All of which almost destroyed her. The broken Martin recalled that among the Even people of Kamchatka there was a word called "Miedka" (half human and half bear). Before this encounter, she had also been called "Maduka" ("female-bear") by the locals. In order to re-understand this incident, she traveled 800 kilometers through the forest in a climate of minus 40 degrees Celsius, returned to the Even tribe, and lived with them. During this time, she rebuilds herself and explores other ways of getting along with the world until she sets out again...
