Panteleimon Artamonovich Vympelov is a successful writer and musician... or is he a developer at the largest IT company in the country? Is this really so important when you are on the edge of sleep, and everything around is just a dance of shadows on the walls of the city labyrinth? Is it so important if neither one nor the other has ever found their cherished happiness? Sorting through the fragments of childhood memories, getting confused in the intertwining of fantasy and reality, Panya tries to find the missing turn of his life story and, finally, understand who he sees in the mirror in the morning. Included in the collection "House of Contempt". Contains obscene language.
