Synopsis
Polikarp Sudomoikin, his wife Evdokia Grigorieva and all their big family live in a distant transbaikal village Bichura. Cultural traditions of the "Semeyskiye", Russian Old Believers, remained in Bichura. During Catharine the Great their ancestors were forced to move from the western regions of Russia to the wild land of Transbaikalia. The Soviet power ruthlessly exterminated everything that has been related to the culture and the history of the Old believers. But to break their love for freedom was impossible. In our days they restore church, sing the ancient songs. And Polikarp Sudomojkin, has become famous in native places for his extraordinary pictures that he began to paint after retirement.
