In Tver province, in the God-forsaken village of Perelogi, there are Pamiri Tajiks who fled their homeland in the 90s, when a civil war broke out in Tajikistan. Now, together with a few indigenous villagers, they have to solve a difficult state question – what is "multiculture" in action?

The Khanty, an indigenous minority that lives in Russia's Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, take pains to preserve their culture. Artist Nadezhda Taligina and residents of the villages of Muzhi and Yamgort discuss their national traditions, culture, dialects and contemporary realities.

The film "Whose family will the sun look into" is about the amazing mother Margot and her son Umeda. Umed has Down syndrome, but watching his life, hardly anyone can call him disabled. He is a participant and winner of Russian and international swimming competitions, a soloist of the inclusive musical orchestra "Sunny Notes", a faithful assistant to his mother in all household matters and, most importantly, a young active guy with serious, real dreams and plans for life.

The film tells about the daily service of the members of the Ensemble — singers, musicians and dancers who travel to various points of Donbass to support the Russian military through creativity.

A film about children and adolescents with mental disabilities, different in age and degree of illness, but equally loving socializing and music. They were united by the Solar Notes Inclusive Orchestra, which performs at various creative venues in Russia and other countries. Despite health problems, “sunny children” with Down syndrome, autism and other mental disorders are able to learn, develop, socialize, make friends, fall in love and dream.
