Andrey from Mihalkino


All over the world people leave their native villages for cities. The same in Pskov region, the places Pushkin loved so much. At his time Mihalkino was a rich, old-believer village. Nowadays it is dying out, revived only by “vacationers” coming in summer to visit their grandparents. But the hero of the film still remembers the past. And he does not want to put up with what is going on.
