Modernity arrives on the Yenisei—a remote Siberian river—marking the end of a 70-year career for a passenger ship that has long been more than just transport for locals; it has been their heart and home. Longstanding routines and personal ties to the mainland may be disrupted with the arrival of a new vessel. Major changes are coming—what will life be like afterward?

A film about an 84-year-old siege of Leningrad, who lives in an apartment in the city of Kronstadt, in the same apartment where she survived the blockade as a child. The film is not about the past, but about the present. About how strong, resilient Children of War live, how they can be friends for 75 years, how they take care of their relatives and enjoy life, sometimes remembering the past.
