'The Belovs' - this is a story about the life, joys and sorrows of a peasant family living in a Russian province. It's as simple as it can be: there lives in a village Anna Feodorovna Belova, twice a widow, - she lives with her brother Michail Feodorovich, And two more brothers, Vasily Feodorovich and Sergei Feodorovich, come to visit them sometimes along a dusty country road. They come, drink much tea, steam in a Russian-bath, discuss among other things if there is "a measure to measure ordeals" - and rising dust again... What should I tell? "You shouldn't film us. We're common people. Live at the river beginning". Well, there is various cattle... a dog runs about... potatoes need to be dug out... What can happen there?
