Lent is one of the most important events in the life of an Orthodox person. The film tells about the searches, doubts, extremes and experiences of a young man who has chosen the difficult path of abstaining not only from many worldly goods, but also from all thoughts that contradict his own picture of the world based on religious dogmas. On his way, he encounters seemingly everyday and ordinary questions for a modern person, however, they do not fit into his worldview. Leaving efforts to resist everything that, in his opinion, is "impossible, not arbitrary", he tries to get used to, reconcile, achieve balance with the world in which he lives.
