A film about one of the brightest artists of the second Russian avant-garde Hulo Sooster (1924-1970). His outstanding personality had a huge impact on the formation and environment of nonconformist artists, opening them to a different sense of culture. Hulot was the first foreigner they met. Despite the years spent in the camp, in the appearance and behavior of Hulot there was not the slightest hint of inner depression. The camp universities gave Sooster an amazing outlook, not stifled by the blinders of official views. Hulot did not break down in the unnatural conditions of Soviet power, but remained a free man.

A film about a village with the poetic name Svetlana, which is located two hours from St. Petersburg. It was built by volunteers more than twenty-five years ago for people with disabilities of physical and mental development, doomed to special psycho-neurological boarding schools of a closed type. Many of them, before they got to the village, could not connect even two words, they sat at home, within four walls. Svetlana avoids the words "disabled" or "sick", preferring to call such people "guys". They do not do miraculous healings and special trainings here, the diagnosis is not important here. Here the children simply create the conditions for a normal human life. Healthy and sick communicate on an equal footing, work together, put on performances and run a joint household. Disabled people do not feel sick and flawed. Everyone is equal here. The shooting of the film lasted about 13 years.

The film tells about the role played by Lithuania in the poet's life and about his closest friends, the poet Tomas Venclov and the physicist Romas Katilyus.
