Damir Muratov paints in his art residence Bednotown. In 2 months, these works will hang in the Garage Museum at the triennial of Russian contemporary art. He wants to call the series "Pictures for Matchboxes". At the same time, all sorts of people come to visit for tea, sketches for a puppet show are created and the answer to the question is formulated: what does a Siberian artist consist of?

The director says: "It turned out to be a sketch framed by the history of preparations for the triennial of contemporary Russian art. In fact, everything revolves around it, paintings are painted, a method is formulated, the Siberian metaphysics of Damir Muratov's work, its conceptual base is revealed. The space becomes separate hero: Bednotown is a household name in Omsk. It is a place of power, a workshop, and a place of life for an artist at that time. A variety of people come here. Each character in its own way complements the image of the hero, makes his portrait more real. The film was shot in in the form of a vlog, a rough documentary. I deliberately refrained from visual aestheticization. I wanted to focus on the content without embellishing anything. Make a museum document."

The film participated in the Kinoproba festival in Yekaterinburg in 2018 and was part of the Night of Museums program at the city museum Art of Omsk in May 2019.
