There are two main characters in this novel. They are different in character and views, they are antipodes, but they have many things in common: height, weight, hair color, eye color, age. When you look at their youthful photos, you get the impression that they are, if not relatives, then at least brothers from the first. Even later, when they became adults, and one of them remained youthfully thin and the other fat, the resemblance was still striking. But despite all this, they were not friends, it was just that sometimes life brought them together in order to quickly separate them again, their own death bypassed them, although it did not bypass their loved ones, death was always half a step away from each of them and hit with a target, but it was just wrong for half a step or half a minute.
