The subjective-personal context is perceived as an objective document of the era, a true testimony of the time when it was created and experienced. The author reflects on events of different historical scale, but equally significant for a person. The film is built on the principle of montage of free associations: from memories of the grandmother and reflections on "the time of our grandmothers" to the image of Vira Kholodnaya as the embodiment of femininity, and then - at a sharp turn - to the problems of inter-ethnic conflicts.
Two students without diplomas: Oles Sanin and Serhiy Mikhalchuk got hold of four boxes of long-expired black-and-white film, borrowed a camera from Ukrkinochronika, and went to the Carpathians, to those who live closer to God, and decided to meet the End of the World with them.
