In a remote corner of the Soviet Union, a group of brave pioneers faces harsh nature and unimaginable challenges to build a city in the midst of the frozen tundra. The story centers on the young engineer Igor, who, driven by his idealism and determination, arrives in this inhospitable region with the mission of developing an airfield that will connect his country with the rest of the world. However, the journey will not be an easy one.
As Igor and his team work tirelessly, tensions arise among the group members, revealing differing perspectives on progress and sacrifice. Among them is Maria, a strong and determined woman whose connection to the land and tradition clashes with the modernist ambitions of the engineer. As the months pass and winter intensifies, the protagonists must confront not only physical adversities but also their own convictions and relationships.
As the project progresses, the local community becomes involved, leading to moments of cooperation and conflict. Disagreements culminate in a dramatic event that will test everyone's loyalty and commitment. This visually striking and emotional tale not only celebrates engineering and the spirit of community but also raises profound questions about the true cost of progress in an ever-changing world. In the end, the airfield will not only be a symbol of connection but also a reflection of humanity itself and its struggles.
