Hiding from the army, a goth from St. Petersburg nicknamed Filiphon leaves for a settlement to live with his grandfather—an hereditary Cossack, the grandson of a Kuban ataman.
Filiphon will have to face many comical situations, meet new unusual people, and get used to a completely different way of life.
Gradually, as he embraces all of this, Filiphon changes—not only outwardly but also within.
Besides sharp humor and an inimitable atmosphere of the Kuban settlement, you’ll also find reflections on quite interesting, and sometimes even philosophical, topics.
