Film-portrait of the outstanding artist-animator Alexander Petrov.

At the end of autumn, the first Vyatka's farmers Alexander Leonidovich and Raisa Nikiforovna Orlovsky will arrive at their former estate to say goodbye forever to the farm, where they spent the best and most difficult years of their lives. Years of litigation with a neighboring collective farm led to the decline of their family farm. The attempt of the children of Alexei, Nadezhda and Tatyana to revive life on the farm failed, and the younger Orlovskys are forced to finally move to the city. It is not easy for former farmers to find themselves in a city life that is alien to them. The farm still remains a place where they were truly happy.

The film is based on the love story of a Russian woman, Claudia Novikova, and a Japanese, Yasaburo Khachia, who was serving time in Stalin's camps on false charges of espionage against the USSR.

As a result of a trauma received at birth, Vera Kazakova became disabled from childhood and, having lost the opportunity to move freely, it seemed that she was doomed to lead a reclusive life. But she managed to change the destined course of events. Vera found the strength not only to get a decent education, to give birth to a son, but also to actively fight for the revival of her small homeland.
