Only a person who is ready to learn everything that our ancestors could do can live on a desert island: understand the sea, live by the ebb and flow, build a boat, catch a fish, find a “common language” with a bear, bake bread. The inhabitants of the hard-to-reach Cape Alevina in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk can do all this. There are only three of them on the island, and suddenly something went wrong.

The film consists of two parts, the first is devoted to the life of the lighthouse and meteorologists at Cape Alevina, the second is the life of lighthouses at Cape Taran. These are two completely different stories about harsh, hard-to-reach places, and people who are able to survive here, or rather live.

He served in the navy, took part in "The Crimean Spring", participated in a navy military parade after Crimea became a part of Russia. After conscription service he worked on a regional television channel, created several stories about security officers, discussed in detail the crime detection and drug confiscation. Unexpectedly, he found himself on the other side of the prison grid. Evgeniyev was detained in the middle of the street by police officers, and after a search was conducted, the prosecutor signed a drug confiscation order. The court took the prosecutor’s side and Andrey was sentenced to three years of imprisonment. But the young journalist claims that he has fallen victim of arbitrariness and that someone framed him on a count of drug possession for the sake of statistics – because it is the easiest way to prosecute and solve criminal cases. Andrey's relatives and colleagues don't give up. Former sailor refuses to ask for parole, because in that case he would have to admit guilt. The head of department for criminal investigation, who interrogated the journalist, was promoted for his good work. Meanwhile prisoner Evgeniyev met some friends in misfortune, who also claimed that they have fallen victims to circumstances and the same police officers. Another young man – Nikita Mikheenko serves his sentence for possession of drugs after meeting with the same investigator - Gorneev. Nikita's relatives are trying to prove their son’s innocence, but no matter what they do, they are met by “presumption of guilt”. The court always trusts law enforcement officers, even when they have no proof except a protocol of search. Will the young men manage to defend their dignity or will they forever remain the convicted criminals with indelible stains on their biographies?

He breaks into your home without knocking, he is hungry and hopes you will feed him. He has always been hungry, and he likes to expand the boundaries of his appetite. This hunger has a dark history of liberation wars, peacekeeping and anti-terrorist operations. Evoked by imperial fantasies, the appetite extends to the territory of your home, the guest is already here. A friend from my hometown once posted a story on Instagram. I saw a warplane there. War? Not immediately, but after a while, I remembered that there is a military airfield in Luninets, the existence of which I had successfully managed to forget. Until 2022, when it was reactivated as a result of the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. The Luninets airfield is located 40 km from the border with Ukraine. At the initial stage of the full-scale war, it was actively used for attacks on Ukrainian territory: missiles were launched and Russian airplanes made sorties from there. Čornaja poliŭka is soup that I offer to an uninvited guest — a dish of traditional Belarusian cuisine, made of goose or pig blood. It is a polite way for a young woman's parents to reject a young man's marriage proposal. By offering this dish to my guest, I refuses to accept him in my home.

Most Russians feel truly "their" history from the time of the post-war USSR. The statehood of that time is a clear role model for especially patriotic elites. So this era is also the past that has become the present. And its “events-people-phenomena” are increasingly perceived today as actual, almost eternal phenomena of our life.

The Novgorod Veche Republic is one of the first examples of democratic governance in Russia. Over several centuries of existence, Novgorod democracy has gone through a difficult path from a simple meeting, where disputed issues were resolved with the cries of the townspeople, and even with fists, to a complex elective system of city government. The experience of Novgorod democracy was needed in Russia only five centuries later. But aren't the current elites repeating the same mistakes that once weakened the Novgorod Republic and led it to defeat?

The Arctic Ocean Hydrographic Expedition, accomplished in the beginning of the 20th century, between 1910 and 1915, led to the last great geographical discovery in the history of the world: the discovery of the Severnaya Zemlya (back then the Emperor Nicholas II Land) and was the first to accomplish the passage from East to West by the Northern Sea Route, from Vladivostok to Arkhangelsk. In Soviet time, the story of this expedition was ignored or falsified. The film is based on unique material: journals of participants of the expedition, their memoires and photos made during the trip. All this material plunges the spectator deep inside the dramatic story, full of suspense.

The documentary screens a video chronicle of the campaign of December 2018 National Assembly elections' two candidates. The main characters of the film are the local people whom the candidates meet on their way during the campaign, in this case the villagers of Armavir region, whose speech, behavior, presence and thoughts become the constructive pillar of the story. "December" lacks of classic plot and sequence. The black and white, neutral shots are divided into several subheadings and complete freedom of self-expression is given to the residents of the villages. There's been made an attempt to detect time and its up-to-date flow through the stranger's camera as much as possible.
