The small village of the Saratov region Shikhany in 2018 suddenly became known to the whole world. It was here, according to the British intelligence services, that Novichok, a chemical warfare agent, was produced, with the help of which they tried to kill ex-Russian GRU officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. After that, the once-secret Soviet chemical weapons development center appeared on the world map. Shikhany today is a place from which life leaves. Once part of a huge Soviet military program, the village lost almost all incentives for development after the prohibition of chemical weapons. Now everything has stopped here, frozen and drowned in the atmosphere of winter lifelessness.

The film is dedicated to the street war of anti-fascists and nationalists in the 2000s. The focus is on the musical preferences and political ideas of the participants in the conflict, who lost their health and lives in the bloody confrontation FA-ANTIFA. It was a subcultural war, the main front of which was music. It was led by very similar young people who did not fit into the social structure of modern Russian society. Now they have matured, and the activity of street confrontation has decreased. The main feeling indulged in by the characters of the film, named after the cult novel by Anthony Burgess and the film by Stanley Kubrick, is nostalgia, and after it comes a new understanding of the past years and an understanding of the enduring value of the main engine of conflict activity, youth.
