In the Russian Hinterland, the town of Yenya faces a tough life marked by military devotion. The community, shaped by a heroic Soviet past, grapples with a destitute post-industrial present. This provincial town becomes a focal point for the Kremlin's aggressive anti-Western propaganda, leading to the militarization of society from kindergarten to pension age. Yelnyans instill a sense of patriotism in their children, embracing the pervasive militarization that defines their daily lives. The documentary highlights how the town of Glory navigates these challenges, reflecting on the impact of state ideology on personal and communal identities.
