They travel in small reed canoes across the largest lake in the world, risk their lives in battered cable cars or fight their way through the ice desert at minus 50 degrees Celsius. Their paths lead them through spectacular natural landscapes, sometimes they don't even wear shoes and sometimes it takes them days to reach their destination: students on their way to school.

This film series accompanies schoolchildren through spectacular landscapes - with impressive panoramic images of contrasting worlds, the stories are told from the children's perspective.
