In the village of Rubalvo, Elena Matrosova is trying to protect the house where her family lived for almost a hundred years from demolition. The Moscow authorities decided to take the site and demolish the house to build the bridge, and offered a two-room apartment as compensation. Matrosova sues and records appeals to Putin to protect private property. However, men with hammers and grinders appear at her house, tearing down the walls and breaking down the gate.
