Dozens of children from all over Russia come to the village of Lopshenga on the shore of the White Sea every summer. This place reachable only by an old AN-2 plane offers a real paradise for children, with games on the seashore, forest walks and care of beloved grandmas. The world of children's imagination is intertwined with the realities of the Pomorie north. What will the children remember after this summer?
