The film relates the story of three bogs that are included in a reclamation plan, and their inhabitants. These are Morochno bog (Brest region), Svyatoye bog and Dokudovskoe bog (Grodno region). The piece introduces viewers to the unique nature of these territories, to stories of local old residents, and also explains the benefits of wetlands and the catastrophic consequences of their reclamation. All in all, 12 people contributed to the film-making, and Bagna team became a shooting mentor. The soundtrack for the film was composed by the Nagual band.
