A few hours in the village of Sumskoy Posad, a thousand kilometers north of St. Petersburg, on the shores of the White Sea. At the end of autumn, before the winter hides everything in the arctic night. In the depths of Russia, among the endless forests and potato fields. Among the people connected with the rest of the country only by a thin line of railway tracks and a muddy highway. But living not only in urgent needs.
