Plot synopsis
Some time Khalmer -Yu was a comfortable miners’ township. Nowadays the mine is closed, the township is destroyed and inhabitants are settled in a new place. But many years later people come to Khalmer -Yu every summer from different parts of the country. They go there to shoot the place, to recollect their childhood. They go home. Chronicle frames bring back optimistic prospects of developing the Far North that were described by the state propaganda in those years. Memories of inhabitants kicked now out from of home complement the picture.
