The film tells about the life of the Belarusian hinterland. In the village of Loktyshi, Gantsevichi district, in a two-story building of a former school, there is an unusual club-museum with a library. One of its halls is called the “AntiBachus Museum” (healthy lifestyle prevention room). This very unusual museum, where empty containers of alcoholic beverages act as exhibits, was created by a local resident Nikolai Lenkovets. Relevant events are being actively carried out here. But the film thematically goes beyond anti-alcohol propaganda, its content rises to understanding the problem of the extinction of Belarusian villages, conveyed visibly and poignantly.
