Where We Are Not

An old friend died—tumbling out the window. The most absurd, stupid death! His relationship with his beloved wife fell apart completely. Pavel Volkov feels like he won’t cope with all the problems piling up—unfairness, misunderstanding. Pavel thinks that the best days are already behind him, that it all belongs to the past, to that time when it was so good—and which no longer exists and can’t exist anymore. Pavel believes he’s to blame for everything—even for the fact that the grandmother of a little beggar boy on the street died, leaving him completely alone. But can a six-year-old fight life on his own? And yet he will figure it all out—otherwise there’s no point in living! He will make a choice, because a choice is always there, and he will learn who is guilty of his friend’s death.

And when it finally becomes easy and not frightening, he will understand that things are alright—not only where we are not, but also where we are…!
