The film tells about the land of the Pomors (now the Arkhangelsk region). On this earth 45 years ago, the most powerful hydrogen bomb in the history of mankind was tested; and now oil, gas, diamonds are extracted from its bowels; the country's nuclear fleet is being built at sea shipyards; the latest types of rockets are launched from spaceports; and the way of life of the Pomors has changed little in recent centuries. Hunting, fishing, handicrafts, that's what keeps the life of a simple village.
