My father, who had been away for 12 years, came back. My brother Andre looked very happy, but my brother Ivan was very worried. Although his mother had confirmed that he was the father, he was still suspicious, full of hostility, and continued to create friction to test his father. He stubbornly didn't eat for no reason, and his father slapped him back. My elder brother is much more well-behaved, one mouthful for one dad, and the only time he slapped his mouth and slapped him, he no longer dared to turn back. The strange thing is that his younger brother Ivan kept stubbornly stubborn, but his father didn't touch him and chose to ignore him. This road is full of mystery for the brothers. They don’t know where to go. Dad talks and trades with mysterious people halfway. In addition, Dad’s survivability in the field is very strong. It can be easy to meet the gangsters of the robbery, the car broke down, and the father. Settling the field tent built by the two brothers, father can see the problem at a glance.

They came to a beach, repaired a broken boat, and halfway through the boat, the engine broke down. The three of them rowed forward and finally reached a small island. Came ashore. Dad seemed to be familiar with the island, and he took Andre up to the high lighthouse. Dad came to a dilapidated wooden house alone, dug out a military wooden box, took out a metal tin box from it, and hid it in the cabin. The brothers also came to the cabin and found a hole in the house, where they found insects for fishing. The two brothers rowed a boat to go fishing. When they came back late, Dad beat his brother again, and his brother climbed up to the lighthouse in annoyance. Dad caught up with him, fell accidentally, and was killed on the spot. The brothers dragged his father's body to the boat a little bit and returned to the shore. The brothers had just carried the luggage into the car and saw that the boat was carrying the father's body floating back into the sea, shouting heartbreakingly at Ivan. In the sound of "Dad", the ship took Dad to the bottom of the sea.

When my father was alive, my younger brother was self-willed, and my elder brother tried his best to obey his younger brother. When my father left, my younger brother became dependent on his elder brother. The brothers seemed to have matured all of a sudden. It's just that Dad's absence has become a permanent loss. This is a fable, a metaphor for the complex feelings of the Russians towards the former Soviet Union, in order to reflect on the inextricable connection between Russia and the Soviet Union. The story of the film takes place within seven days. The father returns on Sunday, the three of them start hiking on Monday, and the story ends on Saturday. It happens to coincide with the seven days of creation in the Bible. As for how to interpret and understand, the benevolent sees the benevolence, the wise sees the wisdom, and one hundred viewers have one hundred interpretations and understandings.
