On the banks of the Tym River, on Sakhalin, a village with the indigenous peoples of Sakhalin, the Nivkhs, lives its life. Lyuba has long since left her native village for St. Petersburg. However, the memory of her father, a war veteran, and those who fought for greater Russia from a small Sakhalin village haunts the heroine of the film.
