A lyrical comedy about the journey of three friends across the entire island of Sakhalin from south to north. The main goal is not the first such trip to tell in remote cities and towns about how to shoot amateur films.

The protagonist of the film lives in the former capital of barge haulers, the city of Rybinsk. His values in life can be summed up in a phrase from The Beatles song "Nothing's gonna change my world". The rules of life of the "last hippie of the USSR" and his political principles against the backdrop of the everyday life of a small Volga city and the holidays of a large country.

The three main characters of the film are people of different generations and destinies, who are united by one thing, the main thing in their life is work. Work is their life. Eight hundred kilometers from Moscow, in the north of the Kostroma region, lumberjacks are felling wood. It will be tied up in 36 huge rafts, and when the river opens in April, it will be possible to go downstream. But even then there will be time for amazing stories about sea voyages to Africa, Kostroma beavers and Russian space. For humor and complaints about the cruelty of the Russian fate.
