The Moscow Metro named after Lenin revived a Soviet tradition by forming a choir from its own employees: cashiers, train operators, and station staff. The choir conductor discovers a previously unperformed opera titled "The Flood", which tells the story of the last day before the end of the world. After a successful premiere, the choir embarks on its first tour, becoming participants in the onset of a real apocalypse.

The film’s protagonists are women from a single family: two young sisters, their mother, and grandmother. In the summer, the younger women visit the older ones—but in reality, they come to reconnect with their roots. The household is matriarchal. Men handle background and daily tasks, while women are in charge of what is primary and sacred: they read fortunes, gather herbs from the meadows, and bathe in the sauna. The women of the future, like those of the past, are engaged in a cycle of ritual family events: weddings, childbirth, funerals. The mother repeats her own mother’s life path, while the daughters unknowingly follow the trails of their mother and grandmother. The inertia of these repetitions possesses such overwhelming, almost mythic power that it cannot be resisted.

The residents of a northern city struggle to survive the blizzard that has engulfed their region.

During the Soviet era, over 30,000 monuments to Lenin were erected across the USSR. They were typically placed in locations where Ilyich could “see” the fulfillment of his ideals: factories and plants in operation, workers’ living standards improving, and the successful construction of socialism as a whole. In turn, Lenin’s presence was believed to have a beneficial influence on the surrounding area. Flowerbeds were planted, flags displayed, and blue spruces planted around the monuments. These were, in a sense, “temporary portals” leading to a communist tomorrow. How do these “islands of the future” look today? What does Lenin see now? How do the descendants of the builders of communism perceive him? The film is composed of 10 vignettes, filmed in different corners of Russia.

The film tells the story of the Volga village Krasnovidovo, a place marked by the presence of Empress Catherine II, the great writer Maxim Gorky, and the first cosmonaut in history, Yuri Gagarin.
