In a narrow railway carriage people travel across the vast country. Outside its windows, villages, towns, cemeteries, forests and factories drift by. Inside, passengers drink tea, sleep and engage in endless conversations.

The film was shot in the year of the 975th anniversary of Yaroslavl. The painting is based on portraits of Yaroslavl residents from the distant past and Yaroslavl residents of the late twentieth century: workers, restorers, engineers, artists. The frame contains many recognizable places of the city, as well as courtyards, factories, and cultural institutions. This 10-minute film perfectly conveys the atmosphere of life in Yaroslavl in the mid-1980s.
