Plot synopsis
A documentary film about a social project called "Silver Theatre". In Khabarovsk, about a thousand people live in several homes for the elderly and disabled. Their age is approximately 70–95 years. Many guests do not have relatives, close people, children, grandchildren. The fear of loneliness is one of the strongest. Left alone with themselves, many of them feel rejected and useless. The main task of the project, in which students of the Khabarovsk Institute of Culture take part in addition to veterans, is to connect two generations under the guidance of an acting theater director.
