The author, against the background of his life, outlines the Ukrainian realities of the Second World War. With the patriotic fervor of a young man, he sets out on the road to adulthood from occupied Lvov; as a member of a secret nationalist Organization, he passes through the rough roads of Central Ukraine and suddenly... all impulses are stopped in prison. First for political prisoners on the street. Lontsky in Lviv, then - Krakow Montelupa. The war through the eyes of the main character is far from the same as it is described in history textbooks. The struggle of a little man is what this book is about, the struggle for life, for freedom, for tomorrow, for the rays of the sun with which it kisses his face every day.
