Pavel Nabatnikov, who fought in Afghanistan, returns to his village, determined to build a new house on his parents' ashes as the first step towards revitalizing the abandoned village.

Victor comes to the village to erect a monument to his grandfather. Not finding the required photograph in the house, he turns to the village “collector” for help. The film is about the hero's senseless attempt to find peace of mind in the place where he spent his childhood. The background against which the action unfolds is a devastated Russian village with abandoned houses, uncultivated arable land, and a looted temple. Will life return here again?
