Recently, popular ethnobloggers have emerged here, sharing stories of Tungus culture with hundreds of thousands of followers online. Timofey Ivanovich is over sixty. He is a wolf hunter, and so he adopted the online pseudonym Berke (Evenk for "wolf"). Berke is an old-timer, a keeper of traditions, respected and called upon at crucial moments. Now such a moment has arrived: the wolves have returned. Hungry packs are crushing reindeer and moving toward the village. Berke ventures alone into the taiga to drive off the predators. In his real world, he has only a rifle and a video camera. And in his virtual world, there are millions of views and thousands of comments. This is the story of how a keeper of national myths saves his small people from the scourge of wolves, and ultimately becomes a new folk legend himself.

This film tells about people whose hands create the main components of life on the planet every day. And it’s not just the material basis of our world made of metal, concrete or wood, but it’s also something that gives meaning to our lives, inspires and gives hope. The film’s characters — a locksmith and a fisherman, a steelworker and a farmer, a furniture maker and an anesthesiologist — are followed by the film’s Director, who suddenly turns from an observer into a creator.

There are unique people in small towns and villages of Russia who, despite the circumstances, are trying to improve the life around them. They are arranged this way: someone fills a skating rink in the yard after work and teaches children to play hockey, someone does not let local crafts and cultural traditions die, someone brings up foster children, and someone saves lonely elders. The participants of the film project are different in age and nationality, they have different professions and life circumstances, they are surrounded by different environments – from the extreme tundra to a small town. But one thing unites them - they change the world around them.

Two village peasants compete for a girl who is no longer alive... According to their beliefs, the soul of the deceased is nearby for several days and sometimes returns.
