Boris, who lives in the Estonian outback, is a typical Russian-speaking "non-citizen" of the country, the owner of a "gray passport". Such people do not have the right to vote in elections, get a normal job, they are “aliens and strangers”. And 35 years ago, Boris participated in the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident, was one of those who saved the planet. There he lost his health, but did not lose faith in life. Now he builds stoves and fireplaces for fellow villagers, plays the guitar in the village jazz circle, heats the stove in the local church and dreams of great love. Why is he, having lived most of his life in a country where his children and grandchildren are alien?
