The fishing village is a small image of a big country. It has its own rich and poor, hard workers and drunkards, liberals and statesmen. Here, the ridiculous is juxtaposed with the tragic, and the lofty is juxtaposed with the insignificant. This world protects itself. Every house, every family keeps its secrets. Egor will be able to reveal the terrible truth, but what price will he pay for it? What price will his countrymen pay for it?
