Hoping to reconstruct the story of his life, he begins to write down his memories, fragmentary and chaotic: St. Petersburg of the early twentieth century, his childhood in Siverskaya and Alushta, his gymnasium and first love, the revolution of 1917, his love for aviation, Solovki... But how can he remember so precisely the details of everyday life, phrases, smells, sounds of that time, if the calendar is 1999...?
