A film-portrait of a sacred place for Yakutia — Kharama Khayata — and its residents who are trying to preserve the heritage of their ancestors, through legends and oral folk art to instill a love and respect for the unique Yakut culture. Will they manage to keep their sacred mountain and own history?

Early morning in a Yakut village, a shot... Those who committed the crime hide in the forest, where they are accidentally found by local women. They tell everyone in the village about it. Enraged residents decide to carry out lynching.
