Alexey Trantsev and Alexey Mutin lost their hands as a result of an electrical injury. Years later, they mastered bionic prostheses and live like ordinary people. Only they sorely lack the ability to feel with their hands — to feel warmth, cold, water, or touch their beloved girlfriend. Meanwhile, scientists are developing a system for sensing hand prostheses.

Physicist Vladimir Kalyaev's measured life changed dramatically after the December 2024 sinking of tankers carrying fuel oil in the Kerch Strait. Having quickly left his Skoltech laboratory, he volunteered in Anapa to test experimental methods for removing the fuel oil. A group of volunteers quickly gathered around Vladimir, with his energy and enthusiasm. The experimental project was named "KB Kalyaev" (Kalyaev Design Bureau). After the New Year holidays, Skoltech arranged a business trip for the scientist, and now Vladimir is perfecting the cleanup technology in the face of storms, winds, polluted coastlines, and toxic oil products.

What is a human brain? Is it just a part of central nervous system, super computer or master who controls human's life? Modern neuroscience researches will help us answer this questions.

In the film, we look into the future. How does scientific knowledge change our worldview, culture and environment? On the one hand, the development of technology expands our boundaries of freedom - we live longer, learned to establish communication with paralyzed people, etc. But the more scientists learn about the brain, the more questions arise. Back in the 1980s, Benjamin Libet conducted experiments that, according to many scientists, proved that man does not have free will. Neuroscientists say that our behavior and decisions depend only on the activity of neurons.
