The plot of the novella, preceded by the words “With love for my native Minusinsk,” carries us to distant war and postwar years—those during which the author’s childhood and adolescence took place. And once again, through the heart pass the troubles and experiences of teenagers, their joys and dreams. The true nobility of the book’s heroes—the boys—and the selflessness of the girls are truly impressive: the ability to be friends and to believe.
