A person who constantly tries to seem different from who he really is is living someone else's life. Boris Filatov realized this only at the age of fifty-five. But, to his great regret, our hero realized something else - in the country in which he was born, it was possible to live only someone else’s life. The choice was not great: either someone else's life or your own death. The biggest problem is that there are several million people like Boris Filatov living in Russia. And many of them also live other people's lives. Contains obscene language.
