In the 21st century, in the mass consciousness, under the influence of anti-hunting forces, the opinion was established that hunting is wrong from a moral point of view, since the hunter "takes pleasure in killing." Such sentiments create "clouds" of social hostility and even hatred around the hunters. Sergei Yastrzhembsky wants to restore justice, put everything in its place and prove that only nature-saving hunting can save the fragile world of wildlife.

This film is a challenge to the civilized world, which is unable to stop the bloody ivory business. This is an accusation of the inefficiency of many non-governmental organizations involved in the conservation of rare endangered species of plants and animals, but in fact they are inactive. This film is an exposure of the corruption that is eating away at the African continent.

Yuri Afanasevich, or simply Afanasich, as everyone calls him, is 77 years old. He lives in the Irkutsk region. For twenty years, every winter, Afanasich goes to the taiga and spends three or four months there. His task is to catch wolves with the help of traps. So he protects not only deer and roe deer, but also domestic animals. In recent years, wolf packs manage to eat entire herds of livestock during the winter. Afanasich is a loner. He knows everything about wolves. And, it seems, the wolves already smell the approach of Afanasich by smell. As soon as he appears in one of his taiga temporary houses, the wolves leave. “In order to fight wolves, you have to be a bit of a wolf yourself,” Afanasich believes.

Do you believe in miracles? Can you imagine that today on the planet somewhere in the tropics you can find pre-revolutionary Russia? Such a Russia, where men walk around in embroidered shirts, women in sundresses weed gardens, working among pineapples, so that the bathhouse is melted with coconut peel, and alcohol is made from mango or papaya. Do not rush to say no, because this is exactly the kind of Russia Sergei Yastrzhembsky and his team discovered in the tropics of Bolivia.
