The film represents life in a godforsaken Russian village. The only way to reach the mainland is to cross the lake by boat and a postman became the only connection with the outside world. A reserved community has been set up here. Despite the modern technologies and a spaceport nearby the people of the village live the way they would in the Neolithic Era. There is neither government nor social services or jobs. The postman's beloved woman escapes the village life and moves to the city. Postman's outboard engine gets stolen and he can no longer deliver mail. His normal pattern of life is disrupted. The postman makes a decision to leave for the city too but returns before long with no certain reason. The script is based on real characters' stories. People from the village play their own parts in the film. The search for the protagonist lasted for over a year.

A close look at a vanishing world!

A very realistic depiction of life in a beautiful Russian village whose tenuous connection with the rest of the world is slowly getting severed. This lends it an air of magic & mystery. Unfortunately, all's not good for this village since it doesn't have the basic infrastructure that we take for granted, like schools & healthcare institutions. People are poor and have no jobs. Their only remaining connection to the outside world is the postman who delivers mails & brings in their supplies. He is a decent and easy-going guy but when his boat's motor is stolen, he gets a little fed up with the village people. And when his love interest leaves for town with her son, he too decides to go to the city, but his roots may be deeper than he thought!

Mr. Konchalovskiy has captured the essence of this wonderful community on the verge of extinction. Hopefully, this movie would have brought the attention of the authorities to the plight of the people living in this beautiful but abandoned land.

The cinematography & the sparse background score is to die for!
