In the second half of the twentieth century, a strong boy is born into a peasant family—child with a metabolic disorder. His father names him Victor—the winner—and his peers call him a fat kid. The desire to lose weight and become “like everyone else” becomes the main goal of his life. He gets into reading, fishing, and wood carving. Pioneer organization, Komsomol, and holy faith in the triumph of the ideals of socialism. Institute, work—while in the country, capitalism is already taking shape. A failed marriage, the birth of a son, a new love, a new family, the loss of work, and prison. But Victor’s spirit cannot be broken. He gets back on his feet and goes forward toward his dream. His main trait is belief that everything can be achieved despite the falls and mistakes that are full of any active person’s life.
