Three villages combined in one timeless space -- somewhere beyond the polar circle. In Northern Russia, a few dozen people still live in their traditional houses surrounded by water, stone, and sand. Nature provides for them, mainly the White Sea. Cut off from vital infrastructure, almost forgotten by regional governance, these people have to cope with their everyday struggles. Their hamlets seem to head toward the fate of many other villages all over Russia: a slow but inevitable extinction.
