The documentary tells about the whole spring, summer, autumn and winter of the Russians living in Siberia -
They live together in wooden houses built by themselves, eating fish and game they grow and hunt. From spring to winter, every day is busy and hard work.
However, they are brave and strong, fearless to face the cruel natural environment and harsh climate;
They are simple and happy, and the happiness of a day may come from hitting an oversized barracuda;
They grieve occasionally, but also because of the loss of their best dog companion;
What they say is full of wisdom and philosophy, and greed is the greatest enemy of mankind...
At the end of the documentary, it is the hunters who go home for the New Year during the hunting season. They returned home with a full harvest, reunited with their families, celebrated singing, dancing and praying with their friends. Every household was full of festive joy and smiling faces.
Yes, this is indeed a group of uncompromising, happy people.
Looking at them, it's hard not to associate reality.
These people who are well-fed and well-fed, live in fancy houses, spend money like water but are not happy
- Who is to blame for your unhappiness?
