Platon Afonin is a famous writer who, at the very beginning of the 23rd century, like most other provincial residents, lives on a submarine. His homeland, Ilyovka, becomes one of the safest places on the planet. He spends most of the day on the Imitation app, talking to a hologram of his deceased friend who created the app, as well as his deceased mother, deceased ex-girlfriend, and even his deceased dog. Soon his childhood friend Artyom appears, who became a smuggler. Plato recalls his childhood, his father, who at first was almost a god to him, but over time turned into a complete nonentity in his eyes. Contains obscene language.
