The film contains an amateur report on the last ferry crossing of the Desna River between the villages of Vilne and Prydesnyanske:
1) 00:00:05 - 00:04:27 — Views of the river. Passengers and drivers wait for the barge. The driver washes the bus ACC-03 "Chernihiv." Drivers share a bottle of vodka. The driver repairs the bus. A driver reads while driving a VAZ-2101. A queue of trucks lines up. The song Volynyanochka plays. The barge arrives; passengers disembark, including Petro Yukhymovych Solovey. Vehicles unload from the barge. New passengers board, and the barge sets sail. Portrait shots of passengers and the captain. The song Charivnytsia (Чарівниця) by VIA Kobza is playing.
2) 00:04:28 - 00:05:54 — Scenic views of the Desna River banks. The ferry crossing in action. Herds of cows. Ferry workers at work. A boy fishes aboard the ferry, while an older man weaves a basket. A woman washes clothes in the river. Cows are ferried across.
3) 00:05:55 - 00:06:43 — A tugboat pulling two barges. A floating bridge near Obolonnia village. Trucks, pedestrians, a bus, a motorcyclist, a cyclist, and a VAZ-2101 cross the bridge. The folk song Oh I Have Black Eyebrows (Ой я маю чорні брови) accompanies the scene.
4) 00:06:44 - 00:09:26 — Onboard the barge: a worker with a bucket, the wheelhouse. Drivers play cards in the back of a truck. Panoramic shots from the river journey. A woman waters seedlings in a box. Various river transports. Drivers wait ashore for a barge. Construction of a reinforced concrete bridge across the Desna is underway.
