Director: Alexey Pogrebnoy
We meet the key character of the film Nikolay Viktorovich Zykov, a village photographer, poet and philosopher, at a difficult moment of his life. It is only now, when he has turned seventy and lost his wife, he understands that this frail woman who gave him eight children was the spiritual light and the foundation on which their family stood.
Zykov cannot do his favorite photography anymore. For hours he listens to the music and thinks back on the past, where he left something that he is to repent for, where there is never ending love and happiness captured of the pictures.
