The protagonists of the film are ordinary provincials, they enthusiastically talk about "valor, glory, love", they know how to dream and create around that amazing environment that encourages creativity. For example, one of the protagonists is trying to build an airplane in order to be able to look at his native Pyshma from the sky.
An elderly couple retires and they are alone with each other in their large and very quiet Moscow apartment. Talking out loud about approaching old age, about loneliness and love is too awkward. They have been together for so long that they understand each other without words. But sometimes this silence becomes unbearable.
Fences are an integral part of Russian culture. They love 3-meter fences in dachas and private homes. City streets are dotted with fences, which often only interfere with normal movement around the city. They like to isolate themselves from the world with an iron curtain. The film is a visual reflection and an attempt to answer the question why life in Russia is surrounded by a fence.
