Valentina Tereshkova dreamed of flying to Mars. This dream led her forward all her life, although it did not come true. But it hasn’t stopped being a dream. The hero of Igor Savelyev’s novel, Pavel, also often looks at the sky, although he has much more trouble on earth, and, it seems, with the last of his strength - at the end of his carefree youth - he clings to his dreams: to be close to his beloved girl , do what you love... Remain a decent person. He and his friends challenge the “adult world” as a world of universal cynicism and seem ready to fight cynics and adventurers to the end - although in this naive “fight against the corporation” they look like Martians. Will you be able to win?
