Stepan is a folklorist, a graduate of the university. He is enthusiastically engaged in preserving the musical heritage of Udmurtia. In winter and summer, he travels to the villages and towns of the region, collects ancient songs and melodies, learns about forgotten rituals and traditions. Stepan goes hitchhiking deep into Udmurtia to sing a song recorded almost a century ago to those who might remember it. Otherwise, the song, as well as the memory of it, will disappear forever.
