Shocked by the suicide of his only relative, the hunter Yegor comes from the taiga to the city and brings witnesses to the death of his daughter - young guys - to the altar of the bloody goddess Ilbis. Mysterious murders rock the northern city. Egor meets Kira, the same age as his daughter, and a strange relationship begins between the hunter and the nymphet.

From dozens of cities, you will always recognize your city – you will recognize it by its squares, by its streets, by its colors, by its breath, by its joys and troubles, and by its love. Four directors will tell four romantic love stories in our city: the love of spouses who have already begun to forget about it; the love of wayward parents for children; the love of life, beautiful and disturbing, and even the love of the very feeling of love. The characters of the film are worried and happy, work honestly, walk noisily and look for love without end. The beating of their hearts is the rhythm of the city. Recognize your city in every frame and look at Yakutsk, which you did not know.

The arthouse project is based on the famous play of the same name by William Shakespeare. According to the plot, the family sends the main character to a boarding house, where the main actions of the semi-documentary experiment of the eminent director will unfold. The filming, by the way, took place in a real boarding house for the elderly and people with disabilities. The roles were performed by residents of this institution.

Prokopiy, a 27-year-old boy with developmental disabilities, lives with his strict mother, Maria, who keeps him locked away for his own "safety." Life goes on as usual in a remote Yakut village until Prokopiy's cheerful sister, Aiyyna, arrives next door. She gives him warmth, attention, and a sense of "normality," and a simple, pure friendship blossoms between them, which becomes a revelation for the boy. Aiyyna leads him out of his locked room, takes him on a sleigh ride to a party, and for the first time makes him feel part of the outside world. But the closer Prokopiy gets to freedom, the more conflicts he has with his mother, who fears losing control and may not be able to protect her son from the pain society can inflict on him. A touching, harsh, and poetic coming-of-age story about a man who emerges from the safety of a locked world to an ambiguous freedom.
