Kola Peninsula. Varzuga village. The road has recently appeared here. The inhabitants of a distant village talk about how the world coming from outside influences the identity of the village. How can a village survive in the modern world without wasting what has held the northern land for centuries? Priest Mitrofan Badanin commanded ships in the Northern Fleet for most of his life, and now he is restoring churches on the Kola Peninsula. He shared with the filmmakers his reflections on the fate of the village, the characters of the people, and the faith strengthened by trials at sea.
