A story of one of the greatest human adventures – the conquest of the North Pole in 1926 – seen through the eyes of an involuntary polar explorer, a small terrier named Titina. When Italian designer and airman Umbert Nobile finds a cute stray dog on a street in Rome, he's charmed so much that he takes her home. And because she’s a lady, he named her Titina. But a warm bed and regular food were not the only things awaiting Titina. The famous Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen approaches her new owner and hires his airship, from which he intends to conquer the North Pole. Of course, Titina would not miss it. With her, we follow the journey of the Italian crew and Norwegian polar explorers to the last undiscovered place on Earth.
