The film rediscovers the forgotten figure of the great Russian explorer Pyotr Kuzmich Kozlov — a student and follower of Nikolai Przhevalsky. Sadly, his name has almost faded from memory, even though the Hermitage Museum still proudly displays collections from his expeditions. His groundbreaking discoveries, the scope of his research, and his deep, almost passionate love for exploration resonate strongly with the curiosity and spirit of today’s youth.

This film is about Lyudmila (Lyala) Stanukinas, documentary filmmaker, widow of director Pavel Kogan. The film was shot for 4 years as a chronicle, in the style of a "home manual camera". But this story is not about the director, but about a woman struggling with loneliness, keeping love in her heart with all her might. The protagonist exists in episodes of the film without author's comments. Also, the plot is made up of fragments, "snippets" of old films, chronicles.

Movie metaphor. Each episode of our life can also hide a mystical meaning. The tape is created in the form of a black-and-white filmstrip with moving frames. As it was at the dawn of the cinema era.
