Chand Rosario’s childhood nickname stuck to him for the rest of his life, which he received “in honor of Prince Myshkin, an epileptic aristocrat, from Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot.” And it’s not surprising, because Myshkin Chand Rosario is truly one of the eccentrics. He is not young, not rich, works as a landscaper in his hometown in the foothills of the Himalayas and is very proud of his “legacy to the world” - alleys of beautiful trees that over decades have grown from cuttings into giants. But this is not enough for him, and he decides to make a will. Lost in thought over his archive, Myshkin goes through botanical journals, notes, and diary entries. Among the papers lies a mysterious parcel, which he did not dare to unpack for a long time. And now the time has come to find out what happened in 1937, when Myshkin’s mother, a talented artist, left her husband and little son and left for distant lands... For the first time in Russian!
