Throughout the film runs a retelling of the Komi-Permyak legend of Pera, son of the Earth, and Zaran, daughter of the Sun.
The two real-life young protagonists of this documentary are simply He and She (that is how they are listed in the credits). He works as a postman in the ancient village of Kupros; She is a gynaecologist in the town of Kudymkar. They are the same age — and, it would seem, that is all that connects them. Yet in the second half of the film they suddenly, and unexpectedly for the viewer, find themselves in the same village…
The picture offers a panorama of contemporary life among the Komi-Permyak people.
The film was presented in the Russian programme of the «Millennium» festival (Brussels) and in the national competition programme of the international film festival «Message to Man» (St. Petersburg).
