The non-standard use of a technical device allowed three friends to travel through time. They are connected by school friendship, but in life they are different people, with different ideas and goals. The petty desire for wealth of one, the childish idea of goodness of the second, the narrow-mindedness of the third, lead them to collapse. Neither can even come close to achieving their goals. The “attention” of the bandits, and then the special services, forces them to flee into the past, burning bridges behind them and incurring human losses. Fate scattered them across different eras. It can be called luck that more than one of them ends up in the 13th century.
