An emu is filmed from close-up behind a wire and wooden fence in Gay-Kodzor, Russia. The video begins with the emu's long neck visible through the fence, then it lifts its head to reveal its face. The bird has ruffled dark feathers on its head, light brown body feathers, and patches of bluish-gray skin on its neck. Its beak is slightly open, and its large brown eye is visible. The background shows green grass, some white and grey buildings, and a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds, indicating an outdoor enclosure on a sunny day. A person off-camera can be heard speaking in Russian, first saying "Kuku?" (a common greeting or call, often used with animals), and then remarking, "Oh, it's smiling."
