Plot synopsis
In the lower reaches of the Indigirka River on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, almost 400 years ago, people founded Russkoe Ustie. They came from the Russian North – Veliky Novgorod and Pskov, they learned local crafts: to fish, hunt animals and birds. They strictly kept their customs, language, spoke the medieval speech until the middle of the 20th century. The permafrost became their promised land.
