In the days before New Year's Eve, dramatic events unfold in the very center of Makhachkala: several people are in a confrontation with a large construction company, law enforcement agencies and the city administration, defending a tree - Europe's tallest beech, which is to be cut down in order to build an office center in its place. Agree, there is something familiar to many people in this story.... Will a handful of brave men manage to defend the tree and how will the lives of the story's heroes - both positive and villains of record - change over these few days? The new book by Islam Khanipaev - winner of the literary prize "Lyceum", finalist of the awards "NOS", "National Bestseller" and winner of the reader's vote of the award "Yasnaya Polyana" for the story "Like Me" - is like a New Year's fairy tale: kind, as prescribed by the laws of the genre, in some places funny, and in some places sad to the point of tears, but at the same time, also and scathingly ironic and merciless to evil in all its manifestations.
