Jeannette Ehlers is an artist and all of her art is centered around questions concerning structural racism. As the 100-year commemoration of the end of slavery in Denmark approaches, Jeannette decides to erect a monument - a huge statue of the female rebel leader Queen Mary, who was one of the main forces behind Denmark's first rebellion by enslaved people.

Zanskar is a remote kingdom in the northwest Indian Himalaya, where local people are snow-bound for six months of the year. About 10,000 Zanskaris live in the isolated valley. In winter, mountain passes are blocked, the summer Jeep road closes and buses stop. Two decades ago, three friends founded a ski school - to enable winter travel in the valley, improve quality of life, and to encourage young people to stay in Zanskar by helping establish a culture of mountain sports. The film tells the story of this friendship, the ski school and the development of skiing in the area. Along the way a bigger question is raised. Most recently, the federal government announced a major road building project that will provide year round access to Zanskar. How can Zanskar's wilderness be preserved? It is only a matter of time before the winter road is completed, and the "Big India" rushes in.
