For half a century, elderly scholar Professor Igor Vladimirovich Vishev has championed a radically new vision of humanity’s boldest dream: the attainment of de facto immortality. Blind since youth, he is cared for with quiet devotion by Vera, a frail old woman who is not his wife, but a loyal companion of many years. Professor Vishev believes that the physical death of the body is not the end, and he looks with hope toward a brighter future beyond his own passing.

This documentary promoting the joys of life in a Soviet village centers on the activities of the Young Pioneers. These children are constantly busy, pasting propaganda posters on walls, distributing hand bills, exhorting all to "buy from the cooperative" as opposed to the Public Sector, promoting temperance, and helping poor widows. Experimental portions of the film, projected in reverse, feature the un-slaughtering of a bull and the un-baking of bread.
