The majestic beauty of mighty and ice-cold Russia as seen from three perspectives. The characters of this film essay are three men, the inhabitants of the Kola Peninsula. Each of them, through his own profession, represents a different kind of space inherent to this land, immersed in eternal winter. Igor, as a pilot, observes the snowy landscape from air. Vasyliy, who works at the port of Murmansk and dives into the icy waters of the sea as a hobby, discovers the realm of water. Volodia, a lumberjack, settled down on land, where he started a family and became rooted. The men did not plan to stay there, but none of them dared to leave.
