Sometimes thoughts that are painfully absurd and intrusive fly into a person’s head. This is what happened to one of the main characters of the book, a former soldier of the Great Patriotic War, and now a man of advanced years. The thought stuck in his head: “To visit the site of his first battle and die next to his comrades.” After thinking a little, the old man equipped his old creaky cart and hit the road. But what is a journey without companions? A young man, Andrey, sits down next to him. Recently, in a terrible accident, he lost his beloved Alina. And in order to drown out his grief, he went to look for what man cannot find, namely the meaning of his existence. And in the forest, on a rainy dark night, they pick up another travel companion. He turns out to be a mortally wounded bandit, who was left to die by his own friends as punishment. And now he wants revenge. For a while, the travelers’ different goals will unite into a common path, on which they will meet many bright personalities. Some of the three travelers will reach the goal, and some will rethink it. In parallel to this story, a story develops about two of Bandit’s friends driving a black Toyota car. Only they can answer the questions. Who is that wounded Bandit? Why was he thrown out in the forest? What is true friendship that forgives everything? Five bright personalities! Five different stories! Five paths will intertwine into one ball for a moment... but only to... diverge again
