Oleg Kirillov is the coach of the intuitive football team. It's hard to believe, but his wards are members of the national team of the Republic of Belarus in mini-football among the blind. Each of them was on the field for different reasons, but today they have a common task to maintain their status as champions in the national competition. Kirillov himself grew up in a disabled family and knows well how to communicate with his wards. He is not only a mentor, but also a friend of each of the athletes. An important element of the film is the work with sound, it completely restores the natural sound environment for the players, in which they are guided by the noise made by the ball and the clear instructions of the coach.

Do you believe in miracles? Can you imagine that today on the planet somewhere in the tropics you can find pre-revolutionary Russia? Such a Russia, where men walk around in embroidered shirts, women in sundresses weed gardens, working among pineapples, so that the bathhouse is melted with coconut peel, and alcohol is made from mango or papaya. Do not rush to say no, because this is exactly the kind of Russia Sergei Yastrzhembsky and his team discovered in the tropics of Bolivia.

This film is a challenge to the civilized world, which is unable to stop the bloody ivory business. This is an accusation of the inefficiency of many non-governmental organizations involved in the conservation of rare endangered species of plants and animals, but in fact they are inactive. This film is an exposure of the corruption that is eating away at the African continent.

Yuri Afanasevich, or simply Afanasich, as everyone calls him, is 77 years old. He lives in the Irkutsk region. For twenty years, every winter, Afanasich goes to the taiga and spends three or four months there. His task is to catch wolves with the help of traps. So he protects not only deer and roe deer, but also domestic animals. In recent years, wolf packs manage to eat entire herds of livestock during the winter. Afanasich is a loner. He knows everything about wolves. And, it seems, the wolves already smell the approach of Afanasich by smell. As soon as he appears in one of his taiga temporary houses, the wolves leave. “In order to fight wolves, you have to be a bit of a wolf yourself,” Afanasich believes.

The development of the Runet reflected all the social and political changes in Russian society: complete freedom in the 90s, rapid economic growth in the 2000s, and the introduction of censorship and prohibitive laws in the 10s. For the last 7 years, the state has been actively trying to take the Runet under control.
