15 years ago this place was humming with work, life and happiness. After the mine was closed, it was left with old barracks, endless mounds of processed soil and unwanted people that lost their meaning of life. This is a story of one family that still live in this ghost-town. Is it possible to survive in such conditions and not to decay even lower, when all moral borders disappear? Can these people still dream of happiness? Despite all dreadfulness of the reality, a man always looks for celebration, dream and love in his life.
AWARDS
The National Award "Laurel branch" - Best Art film 2010; Nika Awards (the Russian Academy Awards) - (The nomination).
