In Chukotka, on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, people live, cut off from the whole world. Their life revolves around hunting walruses and whales and protecting villages from bears coming from the tundra. This turns the film into a meditation on death. Marine animals are the main source of food for humans; skins and offal are used to feed arctic foxes on a fur farm; human cemeteries become food for bears. All inhabitants of these places are involved in the cycle of food and death. The film departs from the usual rhythmic structure of cinema, being built on the principle of a shamanic ritual, a meaning-forming event for the northern peoples.

The "Frankoni" Tent Circus has been touring the cities of the Rostov region for many years.

Dair, who adheres to a uniform, anticipates receiving a summons any day now, prepared to head to the front line. However, the uncertainty of the future remains a mystery to all.
