Someone dreams of getting a new life and starting it differently, but in reality not everyone wants that. Fate decided everything for Alexander Polyakov. A new life, a new family, and even greater responsibility—because he ended up in the forty-first year. True, it was January, but that doesn’t make things better. Leningrad region, the surroundings of Lake Peipus, and after that the coming of the postwar consequences. So he faces a choice: leave the new family to perish, or, choking with effort, pull them out of this trouble. It’s very hard—especially when the new body isn’t even twelve years old. But responsibility, character, and most importantly, willpower with perseverance toward victory remained with Alexander.
