The plane Thabang Motsei is supposed to travel on breaks down and is replaced by an ancient Soviet aircraft. She flies to Yakutsk to film dog sledding and can’t resist the opportunity to take part herself. Meanwhile, Paula Slier is in the West Bank preparing a report on the Palestinian-Israeli border. Every day, Palestinians who work in Israel and travel by public transport are forced to queue for hours at Israeli checkpoints.

Polly wants a cracker. Think I should get off her first.
I think she wants some water. To put out the blow torch. It isn't me.
(Chorus) We have some seed. Let me clip. Your dirty wings.
Let me take ride. Don't hurt yourself. I want some help.

I promise you. I have been true. Let me take a ride.
Don't hurt yourself. I want some help. To help myself.

She asks me to untie her. A chase would be nice for a few.
(Chours)...
Polly says her back hurts. And she's just as bored as me.
She caugh me off my guard. It amazes me, the will of instinct.
(Chorus)...
