This can happen to anyone. If you are 18 years old. If your friends are already settled... Who started their own business, who went to college, and who joined the army... And only you don't know who to be yet... As in childhood, a firefighter or a pilot ... and there is no one to ask. You haven't spoken to your parents for half your life, and your little sister is still too young... And for you there is only one window to the world, this is the computer screen. And everything is different inside. There you can start all over again... Find new friends and even love... There you are strong and brave... There you can hear and tell the truth... It's so convenient! But if you had known earlier, how it would end...

Stepan is a folklorist, a graduate of the university. He is enthusiastically engaged in preserving the musical heritage of Udmurtia. In winter and summer, he travels to the villages and towns of the region, collects ancient songs and melodies, learns about forgotten rituals and traditions. Stepan goes hitchhiking deep into Udmurtia to sing a song recorded almost a century ago to those who might remember it. Otherwise, the song, as well as the memory of it, will disappear forever.
