The ice covering the river is treacherous and ever-changing in appearance. Despite this, Tuguldur has to find a suitable point at which to cross the river. The 10 year old nomadic boy rides his horse alone to school and each time must cross the frozen Tunkhel river in the north of Mongolia. Because the sun has softened the ice on parts of the river's surface, he can't trust the ice everywhere.
