A documentary film-journey consisting of random meetings and conversations with representatives of a small Finno-Ugric people. The director is interested in seasonal ceremonies, daily magic and the dreams of the besermyan, but as soon as it comes to the spaces of communication with the supernatural, the guest is sharply made to understand when to leave.
