Plot synopsis
The protagonist encounters ghosts (uer) who spend eternity waiting for someone to find and bury their remains one day. Over time, the hero realizes that he is also a wandering ghost, and his body still lies somewhere in the field after a heart attack. Tired, exhausted ghosts advise him to have his body found and buried. Then he will be able to move to another world, a personal paradise, which appears in the form of a sayylyk - a valley with a summer dwelling where the souls of ancestors and loved ones live. At the climax of the film, it turns out that the hero's body is still alive and he is being carried into a car to be taken to the hospital...
