Antarctica. What is it, where is it? When life presents photographer Grigory Yaroshenko with a chance to get there and get acquainted with the life of polar explorers, he has no choice. It's like going to the moon. Would anyone refuse? No, no one would refuse... but his wife is expecting a second child, and then his life turns completely upside down. The film is about male self-identification in modern society, about the ability of men and women to accept new challenges, maintain and change their gender roles in the family.

In the late 90s, Nadya fled domestic violence from her family in northern Kazakhstan. Now, 20 years later, she returns to confront her greatest fear—revisiting the trauma she escaped and facing the people and memories she left behind.

A story of environmental disaster, a disappearing people, and one strong-willed woman. The once lush Nogai steppe in northern Dagestan is rapidly turning into an endless desert. Gulfira, a humble village woman, is leading the fight against the environmental catastrophe threatening her homeland. Each autumn, the team she leads ventures deep into the new desert for months at a time. Walking kilometers each day, they plant thin rods in the dry sand, hoping the bushes will take root and halt the spread of the dunes. Will Gulfira prevail in this battle against the elements? Can the Nogai people and their land survive?
