Sergey Potapov is one of the founders of the "wave of Yakut cinema". Serge is a man of legend, some consider him a genius of the Arctic ethnomodern, others attribute to him the scandalous fame of the "Yakut Tarantino". Potapov becomes a guide for St. Petersburg residents through the "inner country of Sakha" inhabited by the spirits of the Olonkho epic. At the end of June, the Sakha Republic celebrates the national holiday Ysyakh — Yakut New Year, a symbol of rebirth and abundance. The ancient ritual coincides with the birthday of the main character — and this is just one of the keys to unraveling the Yakut master, who saddles the currents of reality.
