The country is exchanging old Soviet passports for new Russian passports. A provincial travel photographer travels to remote Siberian villages and takes rural residents for passport photographs in 35x45 mm format. Due to the fact that a large number of people are becoming his clients, thanks to close observations of everyday rural life, the film turns into a complex poetic canvas, telling about the attitude of people living in the Russian outback at the junction of two cultures - Soviet and modern.
