The Robinsonade of the 19th-century Polish settler Mikhail Yankovsky in the Far East today directly rhymes with the Russian Far Eastern Hectare project. Yegor Bordovsky, a 20-year-old descendant of Mikhail Yankovsky, also thinks about his own hectare in the Far East, and therefore leaves his native St. Petersburg for Vladivostok.

The film takes place in the Far East, on the uninhabited island of Rikorda in Peter the Great Bay. The protagonist Fateich, together with his family, takes care of his own underwater farm and extracts sea delicacies, but he is constantly robbed by poachers. The life of a small person, inextricably linked with the world around him.
