A film about the life of the dacha village of the Soviet elite, who settled on the banks of the Moskva River in the 20-30s of the last century. The documentary play "Nikolina Gora" is a kind of continuation of the play by Chekhov "The Cherry Orchard" with real characters, representatives of Russian bohemia in the conditions of modern life. “Dacha, summer residents, it’s so vulgar,” said Ranevskaya in Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, resisting the fragmentation of the latter into small plots. But progress is inexorable, and the old “cherry garden” had to be sold and cut down, and another life appears in place of the old dachas and the old way of life.
