Intrigue

In the Siberian wilderness in the village of Yelan, two families live, who have long been at war with each other: the «kulaks» of Solomina and the «poor people» of Ustyuzhanina.

The story about a very small god-forgotten village in Siberia reflects the history of Russia from the beginning of the century till early 80s. Three generations try to find the land of happiness and to give it to the people. One builds the road through taiga to the star over horizon, the second 'build communism' and the third searches for oil. The oil is found but the destruction of the old cemetry and everything the people of the village cared for followed to get the 'black treasure' of Siberia.—Konstantin Dlutskii <ked@falcon.cc.ukans.edu>

In the Siberian wilderness in the village of Yelan, two families live, who have long been at war with each other: the «kulaks» of Solomina and the «poor people» of Ustyuzhanina. Fate always pushes them together in hate and in love. But one thing unites everyone - a common land. A homeland in which, as one of the main characters says, «of course, there is not enough good. But it's still better not to find it!». «Siberiada» includes four films. The first film tells about the first years of the 20th century, the second takes the viewer to the 1930s and 1940s, in the third and fourth films the action takes place in the 1960s.—Wikipedia
