The film is dedicated to life and work of Valentin Rasputin. His stories and novels “The Last Term”, “French Lessons”, “Live and Remember”, “Farewell to Matyora” became classics of modern literature. The episodes of film adaptations and plays based on Rasputin’s works and materials of State TV and Radio Fund were used in the film. The pages of Valentin Rasputin’s work are read by Boris Plotnikov, an actor. But the main thing of the film is the dialogs with the writer, his thoughts on the fate of literature and culture, on the modern society issues.
