SYNOPSIS

The Arctic Ocean spreads across 14 million square kilometers and conceals 25% of the global oil and natural gas reserves. As the ices melt, bays, marine areas and islands that had been long forgotten suddenly find themselves in the spotlight of the international agenda.

Five arctic states, Russia, Canada, Norway, Denmark and the US, lay claims to a piece of the Arctic and, of course, to the largest share of the treasure. The film explores the economic and geostrategic facts of the Great Arctic Game that has just begun.
