A metaphysical road journey through a desolate Russian landscape where five strangers pursue a mythical bell tower that promises salvation, each wrestling with faith, worthiness, and the meaning of being chosen.

Five passengers - the Bandit, his friend Matvei, Matvei's old father, the Musician, and a young woman - race along an empty road in a big black jeep, searching for the Belfry of Happiness which, according to hearsay, lies somewhere between St. Petersburg and the town of Uglich, near a deserted nuclear power station. The Belfry takes people, but it does not take everyone. Each of the five passengers believes that he or she will be chosen.
