More than 60 years have passed since the opening of the Kuibyshev reservoir. But Anwar still sees in his dreams his native village, which has gone under water. Will he find the graves of his ancestors, going to the surviving piece of land, battered from all sides by a wave? At this time, in another part of the country, they are going to blow up the rural House of Culture. The former director of the House of Culture, Galina Zhmurova, remains in the village to the last, not wanting to leave her homeland, which is about to be buried under the thickness of the Boguchansky reservoir.
