Baba Dunja tak peduli dengan peringatan pemerintah mengenai tingkat radiasi di kampung halamannya (yang terletak tak jauh dari Chernobyl), ia bertekad untuk pulang! Dan beberapa tetangga mengikutinya ke sana. Bermodal kebun sayur-sayuran dan buah-buahan, penduduk kota itu bisa dibilang memiliki segala yang mereka butuhkan. Petrov yang sakit parah melewatkan waktu dengan membaca puisi cinta di halaman; Marja menjalin cinta dengan Sidorow yang nyaris berusia seratus tahun; dan Baba Dunja mengisi hari dengan menulis surat untuk putrinya. Hidup terasa sempurna. Hingga suatu hari orang asing datang dan mengusik ketenangan kota itu.
A fishing village at the end of the world. A lake that is drying up and, ominously, pushing out its banks. The men have vodka, the women troubles, the children eczema to scratch at. Born into this unforgiving environment, Nami, a young boy, embarks on a journey with nothing but a bundle of nerves, a coat that was once his grandfather's and the vague idea of searching for his mother, who disappeared from his life at a young age. To uncover the greatest mystery of his life, he must sail across and walk around the lake and finally dive to its bottom. The Lake is a raw account of life in a devastated land and the harsh, primitive circumstances under which people fight to survive.
