I had these dreams...

They would recur at intervals.

In the dreams, we weren't here anymore.

And I would think: "Why did we leave?"

Everything was fine, and then we went and left it all.

3 o'clock, to the right.

Eastern Siberia

Latitude: 062 51.047 North

Longitude: 082 01.140 East

The boys were all born here.

I was looking for somewhere peaceful, outside of society.

So I got a big boat and I came here.

I took a tent with me and started building.

He would rather be out in the taiga than in the house.

Even when I'm home!

He doesn't feel good when he comes home.

We only hunt for what we need.

If you're not wasteful,

you can hunt a little and live well.

Or you can hunt a lot and throw half of it away!

Why is your mouth open?

Someone's going to go into his mouth!

A bird!

A nutcracker!

I've walked around this whole area for 40 years.

I've never seen

the footprints of any other person.

I've never seen any strangers.

This is pristine nature.

Just crooks and the Kilines...

Stop it, why do you mention the Kilines?

Who did that?

The Kilines...

Here we're on the Sim River.

The children come play on this island.

Neither family owns it.

On the right side, the land belongs to Braguine, my father.

The fence in the middle separates the two plots.

The land on this side belongs to the Kilines,

the neighbors.

When you walk in the forest...

when you see its extraordinary beauty...

It's hard to believe it might disappear,

that it would cease to exist.

Humans are the most dangerous animals in the taiga.

A man is unpredictable.

Sacha built everything here.

He ruined his health.

And now, they order us around.

"Don't go here! Don't go there!"

When we first let them come

we made a mistake.

Just like in the tale "The Fox and the Rabbit"!

They shout at us:

"We were here first, not you!"

That's what the Kilines shout at us.

We lost everything.

We divided the land,

the upper area for us,

the lower area for them.

But it was never enough for them.

They also wanted our land.

They shout that they were there first.

I'm preparing a duck.

My duck...

It will be my duck.

My wicked duck...

It will be my duck.

I love you, my duck...

My wicked duck...

It's my duck!

I heard them...

Yes, they went by, not too far from me.

- Who? - The bears.

I saw them one night.

Three bears.

Even more.

I took my axe and I went towards it.

I had no choice.

It was coming towards me,

it could have crushed me!

So I faced it.

It turned around and went back the other way.

We wanted to scare the Kilines.

Good, let's do it!

The Kilines are very afraid of bears...

and yet they think they're heroes!

They're even afraid of the little cubs!

When they're alone they're afraid of everything.

They're always trying to create conflict.

They break the fences,

pull out the herbs, insult us...

If this continues, someone will get killed.

Stay closer to me.

It's hiding somewhere.

Where are you going? Not that way!

It's gone!

When all the dogs were poisoned...

they told Vanya they would poison him.

It'd be easy: the sugar is always on the table when we're out.

Is he afraid?

Are you afraid of a bear?

It's old.

Yes, it's an old bear.

Maybe we could drag it further down.

It has a well-attached gallbladder.

We shouldn't have kept it on the sand.

We'll shake it out over there.

Let's say a pray for it.

And then we'll bury it.

We'll do a ceremony.

We'll sing for its soul.

The Kilines have a military wiretap system.

When you're walking outside...

it captures the waves and your conversation.

They turn on radios.

They aren't radios,

it's a whole system of computers.

My brother told me it would be hard...

"They'll drive you out,"

he said.

Now he's dead.

His words were like a prediction.

My hole will be bigger than yours.

A hole...

I buried your hole!

The Kilines!

Vassilissa, what is it?

Stay calm.

No... no. Were they supposed to come?

I didn't see anyone or hear anything.

- The Kilines? - They set up a barbecue.

They're expecting them.

- The crooks. - The poachers.

Those crooks...

They hunt anything that moves.

They have no limits.

The taiga can't take it anymore.

The moose have disappeared.

The Kilines tell them: "We'll do anything for you."

They hunt, smoke the fish, house those people.

They just come and occupy the taiga,

whereas we live here.

Our hunting grounds have been bought by crooks from the city.

They took pictures of the map

and we found out later that a new area had appeared,

outlined in pencil.

As if this area had somehow created another one!

But it never existed, not on any map!

It's completely illegal.

Those thieves are so close to the Kilines

because they have the same blood.

The blood of wolves.

There's no contact.

Go ahead, try it.

It's a faulty contact.

Number 2 is connected!

Some crooks have arrived.

There are helicopters every day.

Just as one leaves, another arrives.

If the helicopter arrives...

I don't know, it'll come later.

I saw it in my dream today.

Here! There's a bear hiding over here!

Close your eyes!

- What do you want? - Nothing!

You want us to give you a watermelon?

You just land here...

Give him a watermelon and he'll be happy.

What? Are we in your house?

Yes, in my village.

Oh really? So this your village?

Go back to your village over there!

Is this your village?

Turn off the camera!

We own this land.

We've got papers to prove it.

Who the hell are you? Beat it!

I know all of this is illegal.

Illegal? Are you calling me a criminal?

How do you know that?

He told you to shut up, didn't you hear?

Get out and don't come back!

Shut up! I'm going to fucking waste you!

They think they own the place, they come and go as they please.

We've never seen so many guns.

He said he had an optical rifle scope.

They must have at least 3 rifles each.

While we're allowed only 3 or 4 hunting permits,

they get to load up on game!

They go out on several boats!

Is that the law?

We were all born here.

Now strangers come and claim this land.

It's going to end badly.

It will come down to one solution.

Soon it will be war.

Maybe there's no satellite...

Hello, Sergei Vasilievich?

This is Braguine.

Is he there?

Sergei Vasilievich, why...

Sergei Vasilievich, what's the helicopter doing here?

A whole bunch of people have arrived.

Who authorized this?

They threatened us again, using weapons.

Ask him!

Why are they back here again?

Hello?

They hung up.

Hello?

They hung up.

No one's answering?

You don't hear anything?

No.

I don't trust anyone anymore.

How far are the hunters going?

Were there many going out?

They're in the forest somewhere.

Before they started coming up here,

I dreamed twice that we had all left this place.

And it all started after that dream.

The crooks started coming.

1 for 2.

I don't hear anyone.

I hear the storm.

What's "1 for 2"?

Who are you, "1 for 2"?

I don't understand.

I'll sing for you.

"1 for 2", I'll sing for you.

"The sky is howling

"I'm drenched

"I'm covered with mud, my friend

"Bring me your weapon

Great things are going to happen now."
