It was entered into the main competition at the 43rd Venice International Film Festival, in which it won the Special Jury Prize.
A local teenager Ivan Naydenov (Vyacheslav Ilyushchenko) nicknamed as "The Gray" due to his personally narrated history of developing Poliosis from typhus, is a passionate pigeon enthusiast who recklessly risking his life manages to catch a white dove which has unexpectedly appeared in the city.
The Gray begins to search for and find the dove from the local "pigeon authority" – Kolya the Gypsy (Vladimir Steklov).
All the events of the film unfold against the backdrop of a meager post-war life of the inhabitants of the town - a place of exile and evacuation.
