The Nogai people are descendants of the Golden Horde who are living in the Southern Caucasus of Russia. They experience issues of language loss, identity loss, and lately, an ecological disaster. Formerly lush and green, today the Nogai steppe is turning into a desert. In the autumn, the team led by a simple woman named Gulfira goes deep into the new desert for several months. Every day they walk for many kilometres under the icy, sandy wind and plant branches of Juzgun – a shrub with long roots that can stop the sand. Will Gulfira survive in this battle for the homeland, or will the Nogai land disappear along with its people?

To understand what is happening in modern Russia, it is not enough to go out and look around, or read news bulletins. If you want to get insight, the best way is to radically change the angle of view and look at everything, for example, with the eyes ... of a horse that serves in the operational regiment in the center of the capital.

After twenty years abroad, Natalya returns to her homeland and tries to change life in her native village - to repair roads, remove garbage and build a first-aid post. Will the Western experience take root in its native soil?

Uncle Sasha lives on an island in a “dead” village, surrounded by water. He dreams of the restoration of the monarchy and reviving the true wisdom of the Russian way of life, forgotten and trampled by modernisation and European influence. Every spring he builds a bridge, and every winter it is destroyed by ice. Uncle Sasha is now building his thirteenth bridge.

In spring, as soon as the ice descends from the Siberian rivers, Plavpoliklinika goes on a semi-annual route. Doctors are taking medical care to remote Russian villages. Ahead of six months of testing the climate and living conditions, separation from the family and meeting people from the outback.

1867. Against the backdrop of key events that changed the course of world history, English writer Lewis Carroll and his friend, the Reverend Henry Liddon, set off to Russia on a crucial mission: to deliver a letter to Archbishop Philaret requesting the unification of the Anglican and Orthodox churches.
