A documentary essay on inner freedom, on choosing the path, about responsibility for one's destiny and for the destinies of close people. The heroes of the film are clergymen, who for a canonical reason are temporarily forbidden to serve: priest John Okhlobystin and hierodeacon Prokhor (Lisitsyn). Priests banned from service or resigning voluntarily are referred to as offensive nicknames for "rasstrigi."
