The official room of an orphanage, the barracks of a military school, an officer's dormitory and service apartments in military camps - that's all that Sashka saw in his forty years. And at some point I realized that I wouldn’t see anything better. Because the ability to be content with little played a cruel joke. Family life did not bring what was expected and the relationship fell apart like a sand castle. But there are those for whom he is ready to continue to deny himself everything, just so that they do not get used to the government bed and do not learn to infringe on themselves from early childhood. It seems to Sashka that he is doing everything right and sees what he should. But fate will want to open his eyes wider and delve deeper into his heart, presenting him with a choice. And what will he do? Will he leave when his heart asks him to stay, but will his obligations demand fulfillment? Or will he remain where he needs to escape, but responsibility will block all paths?
