This is a dramatic story about a simple engineer from a Siberian industrial city who, trying to save an old locomotive that once belonged to his father from being scrapped, comes into conflict with the system, society and himself. His fight for the decommissioned machine becomes a metaphor for returning to himself, rethinking the lost connection with the past and trying to pass on something important to the next generation. Against the backdrop of a real working environment, family conflicts and sincere male drama, the film explores how personal memory can change the present.
