...One clear September night, the inhabitants of the typical English quiet village of Midwich were covered by a strange hemisphere, which stayed above it for about a day. Birds fell from the sky dead, and people fell into a sleepy oblivion. And a couple of months later, when everyone had already begun to forget about the mysterious incident, it suddenly turned out that all the women of childbearing age in the village were pregnant. Even unmarried ones, widows and virgins. And in due time, strange golden-eyed children were born, surprisingly similar to each other... Children capable of subordinating them to their will with the power of their gaze...... One day, Matthew, who lives with adoptive but loving parents, has a friend. An imaginary friend, as is often the case with young children. In any case, that’s what it seems to them at first... Thousands of worlds similar to ours lie very close, separated only by the thinnest space-time boundary. And if you cross this border, everything is possible: - find your true love; - meet a person lost many years ago; - get a chance to turn back time and correct a fatal mistake; - come to an agreement with the demon to your considerable benefit; - find a teacher and a friend, who will reveal the secrets of the universe to you!
