Plot synopsis
An honest and sad, heartbreaking and hopeless documentary essay by Ivan Zhilin and Anna Artemyeva, who discovered the black abyss and peered into it.
At first, they wanted to talk about the expectation of gasification by Siberians, because 88% of Russian natural gas reserves are located in Siberia, while Siberia is the country's most non-gasified macro-region. Even in megacities they heat houses with firewood.
And so they went. And we saw with our own eyes that people are not worried about the lack of gas. They are waiting for relatives sent to Ukraine.
