It’s late July of 1989, the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic. Olya, Natasha, Andrei, Sasha and Igor are seventeen-year-old secondary school graduates. All of them, except Olya – Natasha’s cousin visiting from Leningrad – have known each other since childhood.
To relax following university entrance exams, which some of them passed and some failed, the five teenagers go on a camping trip.
This short trip comes as a test of their relationships, of their emotional maturity on the threshold of adult life. The teenaged guys and girls make plans for the future, share their dreams and aspirations, not knowing that their country will soon cease to exist, and their future will differ greatly from what they could see at this point.
