A successful but deeply unhappy man visits a provincial town where he spent several eventful months in his youth. Mistakes made once can be realized and comprehended, and then also rethought. You can try to erase them from your memory or pour wine over them. According to psychologists, mistakes can also be worked out and even compensated for. But what absolutely cannot be done with some of them is to fix it. Are you in doubt? Ask the main character of this book. Oleg Neritsyn is still young and full of physical strength. Nature has not deprived him of intelligence, dexterity, or perseverance. He is far from ugly and is able to run up the stairs to the third floor without shortness of breath. He has everything a provincial could ever dream of. His business is actively developing, and his wife's beauty is admired by everyone around. It would seem that it's time to look forward to a clear and bright future. But instead, he increasingly turns to his past and realizes with horror that he has no future.
