Every summer, herds of salmon return to Sakhalin Island from the ocean. Every year their number is dramatically reduced. Vanya's family is destroyed like an ecosystem of wild salmon: his parents do not live together. Yielding to the persuasion of his elder brother, his father takes Vanya with him on a journey around the island. He promises Vanya to show him spawning salmon.
