About the plot
This is a story that every person can and should dream, no matter how difficult life situation he is. This is a story that everyone is worthy of happiness, no matter where you are - in a metropolis or in a small Yakut village.
The plot of the film will be built around a guy named Dzhuluur from a small Yakut village. He urgently needs to earn money in order to return housing, selected by the collectors, and his younger sister, sent to an orphanage. The young man will find himself in mas-wrestling, the national sport of Yakutia, where one of the participants must pull the stick from the other. Such competitions are popular in their homeland and quite entertaining.
Athletes grab from different ends of the stick, being opposite each other, and rest their feet on a common support. This is followed by a short tug competition. The roots of mas-wrestling ("mas" - "wooden stick" from Yakut) go back centuries. Such games helped to comprehensively develop the boys of the Sakha people in especially harsh climatic conditions.
