The film relates the story of three bogs that are included in a reclamation plan, and their inhabitants. These are Morochno bog (Brest region), Svyatoye bog and Dokudovskoe bog (Grodno region). The piece introduces viewers to the unique nature of these territories, to stories of local old residents, and also explains the benefits of wetlands and the catastrophic consequences of their reclamation. All in all, 12 people contributed to the film-making, and Bagna team became a shooting mentor. The soundtrack for the film was composed by the Nagual band.

The premiere was held in late 2014 in Minsk. The documentary was presented at international festivals such as Listapad and Cinema Perpetuum Mobile in Minsk, Delay Film in Moscow, Febiofest-2015 in Bratislava, FilmFestival Cottbus 2017 in Germany, Voices from the Waters International Traveling Film Festival 2017 and the 5th Chennai Film Festival 2017 in India.
