The character in this film, Andrei Gagarin, lives in Nizhny Tagil, not far from the agreed border between Europe and Asia. One day, he decides to return to his native village, Bolshaya Kocha, located in what was then the Komi-Permyatsky Autonomous District.
There in the past, a bull sacrifice took place, a ceremony expressing a syncretism between elements of the Christian religion and paganism.
