Summary

A middle-aged man returns to his native village to buy an abandoned house, where he spent his childhood, although locals don’t support his decision. Soon, the man finds himself trapped between two realities. Baffled, he is trying to return to the real world. On his way, he can see a sayilyk (a meadow with a summer homestead), where he sees his ancestors and deceased family members. Totally puzzled, he runs away and meets three men who turn out to be wandering souls, spending eternity in anticipation that one day they will be able to move to another world.
