Paradise plot

In the summer of 2021, an exceptional heat wave in Yakutia, northeastern Siberia, leads to massive forest fires. On the endless taiga lies the village of Shologon, shrouded in orange smoke and black ash. The forest is on fire and the flames are fast approaching. The original inhabitants should not expect any help from the government. Because Shologon is on the edge of the "Control Zone," the official term in Russian law for remote or sparsely populated areas where authorities are not obligated to fight wildfires if the cost of extinguishing them exceeds the estimated damage. Left to their own devices, the residents join forces.
