More than 60 years have passed since the opening of the Kuibyshev reservoir. But old Anvar still dreams of his native village, swallowed up by the waters. Will he find the grave of his ancestors, transferred to a piece of land that is preserved but battered on all sides by the waves? At the same time, in another part of the country, they are preparing to dynamite a House of Rural Culture. Its former director, Galina Zhmurova, remains in the village until the last moment because she does not want to leave her small homeland, which is to be buried under the layers of the Boguchany reservoir.
