“God’s word is still imperfect, but if we work together, we can make God perfect.”

The film observes the harsh and dangerous life of the so-called mammoth hunters in the far north of Siberia. The archaic landscape in which these people are looking for the tusks of extinct mammoths looks like primordial earth. There is a kind of gold rush fever in the air, because the prices for this white gold have never been so high. Such finds are magnets for high-tech clone researchers in search of mammoth cells with the greatest possible degree of intact DNA. They want to resurrect the mammoth as a species. The goal of synthetic biology is to produce complete artificial biological systems. Man becomes the Creator.
