At the heart of the film is a genuine event, the high-profile "The case of the bear-catchers". The teenager was attacked by a bear. The protagonist of the film is Anatoly Sopochin, Khanty, the father of six children, a taiga dweller, for him the Bear is a sacred animal, but the hungry Bear, which has risen in winter, is the most dangerous animal. And he needs to save the Family from the Big Trouble. The head of the family is charged with a crime, illegal bear hunting. The high-profile "The case of the bear-catchers" is resonantly reflected in society. Disputes arise, because taiga dwellers have completely different laws of life. The Khanty people live alone with the harsh nature according to the laws of survival. The case of the bear-catchers raises serious questions, not only legislative but also philosophical. This film is a reflection on the impossibility of generalizations for the people of Civilization and the "children of Nature".
