A middle-aged man returns to his native village to buy an abandoned house, where he spent his childhood, although locals don’t support his decision. Soon, the man finds himself trapped between two realities. Baffled, he is trying to return to the real world. On his way, he can see a sayilyk (a meadow with a summer homestead), where he sees his ancestors and deceased family members. Totally puzzled, he runs away and meets three men who turn out to be wandering souls, spending eternity in anticipation that one day they will be able to move to another world.

In hustle and bustle of urban life, we sometimes don't know our neighbors next door. And in the village, everyone knows each other and lives with the joys, troubles, and worries of a neighbor, like one big family. That's why a person is pulled to their small homeland, to their roots. The one who forgets their roots experiences a burdensome emptiness and dissatisfaction with their achievements in life.
