The video shows a large, blue and white tugboat pushing a long barge along a wide river. The barge appears to be carrying a light gray or white cargo, covered by tarps. The tugboat is moving away from the viewer, creating a churning wake. The scene is viewed through a metal fence, with a landscape of trees and power lines visible on the riverbanks. The sky is overcast, suggesting it is either early morning or late afternoon. The name "Волгонефть 85" is visible on the stern of the tugboat.
