Page One. A Story About a City That Does Not Exist. Part 2

Many years ago, beyond tall mountains, in a small blooming city, lived boys and girls… They weren’t afraid to walk outside at night, and adults didn’t lock the doors of their houses—because that city was the safest in the country. Its residents freely knew two or three languages and understood one another perfectly. However, this is not really a fairy tale. The city can still be found on the map today.

The heroes of this story: Aniko, Jakob, and their friends—run out to meet us from the shady alleys of Tskhinvali as carefree twelve-year-old teenagers. Their childhood is a storm of emotions and thoughts—no, not of mediocrity and boredom! Weddings thunder, thick garden leaves whisper… And behind the scenes, another story is taking place…
