The town of Zinkiv, where people of different nationalities and denominations lived in harmony and peace in the 1950s, is in fact a paradise that was not on the map of the former USSR: in a mysterious way it simply fell out of sight of the totalitarian system. It is quietly and naturally adjacent to the Orthodox Church, the Jewish synagogue, the church and the heritage of Islam – the old Turkish fortress.

In Zink lives the main character of the tape, Motl-Shotchen, a matchmaker from God: as a true mediator between people and worlds, he walks from village to village, from house to house, creating love, creating harmony of human fates. Motl believes in and serves his life with all his soul. But here, the System, and with it war, inevitably breaks into the world of Zinks. The idyllic life of the town has collapsed, and with it – the life of Motl, who lost his loved ones. Having lost his world, he abandons both faith and service. But life and love are more powerful than war and death: Motla is supported by all those whom he has helped, and gradually he returns to life.
