An intimate documentary portrait of a troubled elderly Russian couple whose contrasting personalities—pragmatism and idealistic drunkenness—embody the contradictions of the Russian soul.

Portrait of a troubled peasant family. The film tells the story of two times widow Anna Belova who lives together with her brother Mikhail. Blending the two personalities, Kosakovsky characterizes the true Russian soul: she is the rational worker, honest and strong - he is the drunken poet, the idealist, his philosophy fades into radical nonsense time after time.
