Where We Are Not

An old friend died after falling out of a window—such a ridiculous, stupid death! His relationship with his beloved wife completely fell apart. Pavel Volkov feels he can’t handle the piling problems, the unfairness, and the lack of understanding. It seems to him that the very best of everything is already behind—back in the past where everything was so good, and which now doesn’t exist and can’t exist.

Volkov feels guilty in everything—even in the death of the grandmother of a little beggar boy on the street, and now he’s all alone—yet can a six-year-old fight life by himself?

And still, he’ll figure everything out—otherwise there’s no point living!.. And he’ll make a choice, because choices exist all the time, and he will find out who is to blame for his friend’s death.

And when it becomes easy and not frightening, he will understand that everything is good—not only where we aren’t, but also where we are!…
