The film, like the book, is based on real events and narrates about the discovery of a grandiose gold deposit in the Far North-East of the Soviet Union.

The film stars Konstantin Lavronenko, Grigoriy Dobrygin, Egor Beroev, Kseniya Kutepova and Yevgeny Tsyganov joining the cast.

Using absolute authority, Chinkov organizes searches for gold in the Territory, despite the absence of direct instructions from the leadership and the sad fate of his predecessor, whose career was destroyed due to the fact that no gold was found in the Territory.

On February 11, 2015, a preliminary screening for the press, artists, and the invited geological community of Russia took place in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses.

The film failed at the box office - with a budget of half a billion rubles, six times less was collected.
