Ilya Orlov, who used to do animation on the streets of St. Petersburg, now creates fayums—short stories based on the customer’s life. But one day something incredible happens, changing Ilya’s fate. Now he’ll have to understand just how far a character created by him can go in the search for answers to his own questions. Together with him, we’ll experience this miracle of immortality and try to figure out whether it’s real—or only an illusion.
