As a child, the narrator heard her older friend’s confession about her love, which ended tragically, as her lover died on the battleship Novorossiysk. What she heard struck the girl, aroused deep regret in her for that young man, and sank into her soul. Years passed, the time came for a reassessment of values and the need arose to understand what she was very indirectly involved in. It turned out that the trouble with “Novorossiysk” did not come unexpectedly - it was preceded by prophetic dreams, sudden insights, prophetic signs, everything that today is fully recognized by science and is called paranormal phenomena. Against the background of these memories, the history of the Ukrainian village emerges with its ancient traditions, pages of the Holodomor, losses in the war, post-war achievements. Involuntarily, the story develops into a study of disasters in society and their impact on the lives of individual people. You can guess about the future from premonitions if you decode them correctly. But is it worth doing, and will a person be strong enough to withstand the stormy onslaught of the elements?
