Siberia. The last four houses remained in the old village on the Angara River. Before the eyes of their inhabitants, they burned a large village and continue to burn. The hands of Siberian prisoners are cleaning up the bed of the new reservoir of the fourth hydroelectric power station on the river. Tractors work menacingly around the huts that have survived so far. The villagers meet every new day with fear that they will be burned down. But, despite this, they do not leave their home. This is the last year of the life of the Angarsk village.
