Synopsis

In the summer 2021, giant fires ravaged nineteen million hectares in northeastern Siberia. Here, at the heart of the taiga, lies the village of Shologon, soon to be coated by a thick cloud of smoke. Spread by the wind, the black ashes carry alarming news: the forest is on fire and the flames are fast approaching. The inhabitants must rally to confront The Dragon.
