- Synopsis
- The story is based on real events, a travel of a failed Moscow actor to the shooting that takes place in the Autonomous Republic of Sakha-Yakutia. Looking with his eyes, we find ourselves in an absolutely mysterious world of the Olonho culture, the Republic of Sakha and the present-day Yakutian cinema with all its ethnic peculiarities. The long voyage of our hero is a kind of road movie, full of meetings with very different people – old wise men, shamans and even magic deers. We will find many adventures, discoveries, love, findings and losses.
  It is here, in Yakutia, with its majestic nature, that we manage to create an islet of creation that would help interaction and merger of various cultures and bring attention to the peculiarities of development of the local, ethnic-based cinema. Lots of films are being made here. Approximately as many as in the rest of Russia. But we do not know almost anything about the Yakutian cinema. Its phenomenon is its incredible popularity among the local population. Neither American blockbusters nor Russian comedies are as popular here as the local Yakutian films. Local films, it should be remarked, are made very quickly and have very low budget.
