Bazhenov—an Ural town much like many other provincial settlements—depends entirely on the work of a single enterprise. However, the locals are sure that even on the darkest days, if you look at the sky, you can see how a ray of sunlight breaks through the clouds, filling everything around with light and warmth. The residents of this town dream of a bright, full life, and despite the different difficulties, they don’t lose hope. They believe that it’s not the surroundings that shape a person, but a person who shapes the surroundings.
