The first is a former athlete who undermined his health at the beginning of his career. The second is a graduate physicist in the past, a failed scientist who left science in the 90s for the sake of a quick and solid income. They feel free, provide for their families, and in this they see the meaning of their existence. Yura helps her divorced daughter raise her child alone. Sasha's daughter is already an adult, and the former athlete finds an outlet in coaching, teaching teenagers martial arts. The bogatyr Yura, who even in winter digs naked to the waist, hopes that he will have enough health for another ten years, just in time to put his granddaughter on his feet. Although the former physicist is already 63 years old. Sasha is younger than his partner, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to combine the work of a gravedigger and a coach. Friends have a new partner, 40-year-old bankrupt businessman Alexei. He hopes to make ends meet and leave the cemetery quickly, but, as you know, "nothing is more permanent than temporary." Under the bottomless sky over eternal peace. Are the earthly dreams and hopes of our heroes destined to come true? After all, as Brodsky wrote, "each grave is the end of the earth."

The film tells about the history of the title "Hero of the Soviet Union", which existed from 1934 to 1991. During this period, about 12,700 people became heroes. The film tells about the first heroes of the Soviet Union, the pilots who saved the Chelyuskinites; the Estonian Arnold Meri, who received the title in the hardest summer of 1941; about the only woman tanker Marina Oktyabrskaya. But along with the heroic pages of the history of the title, the film does not ignore the negative side. For the first time, the truth is told about 28 Panfilov heroes and two Vlasov heroes, as well as the unique story of the impostor hero Valentin Purgin.

Russia was among those who founded the Soviet Union and among those who dissolved it. But 30 years after the collapse of the empire, many Russians still dream of going back. Nostalgia for the Union in Russia has practically become a state ideology. Many people forget about the shortage, the lack of freedom of speech and trade, but they remember cheap sausages and free apartments. Why won't Russia get out of the clutches of the Soviet Union?
