Ten-year-old Gabriel loves to sing and has one desire: to sing in the local choir. The group rides kick-sleds through the snowy landscape of Northern Norway and is known for their kindness and charity towards the refugees from the village. But when Gabriel’s father gets into a fight with one of the local refugees, Gabriel’s quest to join them is jeopardized and he faces a new challenge.
