Where the White Cranes Dance

From dozens of cities, you will always recognize your city – you will recognize it by its squares, by its streets, by its colors, by its breath, by its joys and troubles, and by its love. Four directors will tell four romantic love stories in our city: the love of spouses who have already begun to forget about it; the love of wayward parents for children; the love of life, beautiful and disturbing, and even the love of the very feeling of love. The characters of the film are worried and happy, work honestly, walk noisily and look for love without end. The beating of their hearts is the rhythm of the city. Recognize your city in every frame and look at Yakutsk, which you did not know.

A man and a woman are walking along the road. Ahead-the unknown, inside-growing anxiety. They don't know much about each other, but they seem to have known each other for a long time. The dilapidated house becomes their temporary refuge, a meeting place with the ghosts of the past and themselves, a confessional and a prison. Is there something frightening lurking in the dark corridors or in the recesses of your own soul? When everything that you are used to, what you loved, what you dreamed of collapses, when life and death converge at one point, you can only believe and move on. The road, lost in time and space, as a way to salvation, as a symbol of the search for oneself in the world and peace in oneself.
