Wolf Sky

Leningrad is liberated. Shurka and Bobka return from evacuation. Uncle Yasha, together with the mute girl Sara, comes back from the front. And it seems like life can begin again: go to school, work, rebuild the family and the city—yet nothing works out. As if something important has broken—both in the city and in people: Uncle Yasha suddenly becomes like other adults, Sara locks herself away in her silence forever, and poor Bobka keeps getting funny things to laugh about—whether it’s appropriate or not… Shurka understands that he must get Tanya back at any cost, even if he has to use the King of Toys—but what price is he willing to pay for that?
