The main character, freedom-loving Kira Argunova, struggles to escape from the sticky embrace of the system and save her beloved Leo. But this is unbearably difficult in a world where good and evil are fused into one soil, yesterday's fighters have become opportunists, and party idealists take risks — and not compromise with their conscience. And even when everything goes wrong, relatives and loved ones betray, fog and grayness envelop both the city and the soul, Kira does not give up. Until the last step, the last breath, the last glimmer of light, she goes to the goal?
