Plot synopsis
Bering Island. From two sides it is washed by the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean. A cold squally wind blows non-stop, the sky is covered with clouds. At the edge of this island there is the village of Nikolskoye. About 670 people live there. Of these, about 30 are teenagers. Some of them are finishing school this year. What’s next for them? Growing up in an isolated environment, far from civilization with its benefits, the protagonists are largely formed by this space. How the parting with their native land will go, and what fears the guys will have to overcome on the way to the big world? This is what the viewer will find out.
