Many people think that the fear of death is insurmountable. Sergei Yakushin, director of Siberia's largest crematorium, disagrees. He rehearses his own funeral to overcome this fear. He is also the first in Russia to offer people to conclude a lifetime funeral agreement and take care of their last day in advance. People flock to the crematorium to get the answer to the most important question of their lives.

Russia. Siberia. Endless taiga. 500 km to the nearest settlement. There, 25 years ago, a religious community of the Last Testament was established. 10 thousand followers believe that their Teacher is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. One of the followers is taking his 11-year-old son from Moscow to Siberia, to the community, in search of paradise. He has repeatedly said that he dreams of moving there permanently. Mother and younger son remain in Moscow. The filmmakers managed to realize the exclusive filming of the boys' monastery, where outsiders have never been allowed before.
