The main character goes to pick up the body of his dead father. The backdrop of this trip opens the curtain on his soul and our modern world. Pictures of the past and present, in the prism of the consciousness of a positive hero of our time. The novel is about a feat that everyone will have to accomplish. In the first days of the New Year holidays, the main character is forced to travel across the country to an abandoned military garrison. Overcoming human cynicism, the dark fears of ordinary people, which are the consequences of the processes of degradation of our modern society, the main character receives a legacy that is impossible for the “looters”. This is the name of the category of people, the antipodes of the main character. Perhaps the ending of the novel is somewhat mystical, but it is perceived as realistic. The novel uses an original style of presentation, created from a combination of journalism, professional legal, somewhat dry narration, and a vivid figurative style that is far from “clichés.”
