The life of a sixty-year-old Nikolai Frolov is akin to two banks of the river called the “past” and “present”. His past is the years of happy marriage, the work to which he devoted half of his life and respect of people around him. His present - spending the night in the basement of a residential building, lack of money, hunger and other "pleasures" of bum’s life. Between them – serving in prison for a heavy crime and the endless solitude. Fate had treated him unfairly, but he patiently waited for his reward. Sometimes fate can be cruel, it can throw you out of your regular life in a flash and without the right of return. Not all are able to deal with the outstanding challenges and preserve the purity of heart and determination. This is a story about how to survive in the struggle against the circumstances and stay Human.
