Summary

For several years, the author has been making film observations of his heroes, peasants from two neighboring villages in the Lipetsk region. One of them, Uncle Vanya, is a poet, a local Kulibin, who builds a starship. The second, Uncle Kolya, wandered through life in an alcoholic stupor, but one day, having experienced a severe shock, he got out onto the “sober” highway. The most remarkable thing about the film is the author's point of view.
