The production is based on the themes of generational continuity, cultural diversity and the unity of Russia's historical path. Through the dialogue between grandfather and grandson, the parable of the seven clans and stage images, the artists revealed the meaning of common values, love for the Motherland and service to the Fatherland. The choreographic performances presented a variety of cultural traditions of the peoples of Russia. The images of prominent figures in Russian history — from Alexander Nevsky to Sergei Korolev — have become part of the story of creative work and achievements of different generations.
