This poetic film is about a small town where the preserved Soviet past hangs over its inhabitants with gray monolithic buildings, pierces the gaze with geometric lines, shapes their worldview. And even people who were born at the turn of decades, states and ideologies, feel some kind of connection with that era. These elements of the inanimate world fill people with a special melancholy, through the prism of which they perceive and see all living things.
