A documentary almanac consisting of 5 short stories revealing the wonderful world of Sakhalin Island and its inhabitants. The film tells human stories through the eyes of young filmmakers who visited the island for the first time. The main characters of the novels are representatives of different professions. The documentary filmmakers lived for several days in a fishing camp remote from settlements, captured the peculiarities of oil production in the Okhinsky district, visited Tyuleniy Island, got acquainted with the dynasty of miners in Uglegorsk and explored the village of Douai, from there the settlement of the island began.

To me, this movie is perfection.
best movie i've ever seen.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
