This film is dedicated to people who miraculously survived one of the worst floods of the last decade, which occurred on the night of July 6-7, 2012, in the south of the Krasnodar Territory. Ten centimeters of life is ten centimeters to the ceiling, that space where there was no water. The authors of the film explore the manifestation of character in an extreme situation and try to figure out what happened there, in the small town of Krymsk.
