In almost any city in Russia, you can find a square with a bust of Lenin, stuffed bears in reputable mansions, and shops can easily offer a "sanction". Only with justice everything is a little more complicated, but, as you know, it is better to contact the Carpenter with this issue. Lena is an ordinary woman who secretly dreams of a beautiful wedding, but her chosen one by chance lost his passport and now, instead of the registry office, he ends up in the police station with enviable frequency. And it has already become a good tradition that she rescues him, raising the material status of some interested persons. However, Lena is a woman with a strong character and is ready to fight for her happiness, love and justice every day.

The film represents life in a godforsaken Russian village. The only way to reach the mainland is to cross the lake by boat and a postman became the only connection with the outside world. A reserved community has been set up here. Despite the modern technologies and a spaceport nearby the people of the village live the way they would in the Neolithic Era. There is neither government nor social services or jobs. The postman's beloved woman escapes the village life and moves to the city. Postman's outboard engine gets stolen and he can no longer deliver mail. His normal pattern of life is disrupted. The postman makes a decision to leave for the city too but returns before long with no certain reason. The script is based on real characters' stories. People from the village play their own parts in the film. The search for the protagonist lasted for over a year.
