What happens to a person locked in one place for five years? How about ten? Let's focus on the psychological side of the question. Will he retreat deeply into himself, become mad, or seek solace in self-improvement? Will he suffer bouts of apathy or flashes of rage? And if Semyon spends even more years there? Let's say... a thousand? Why is he locked in his solitary cell? Why is he still alone? How is Sovyonok organized? And how... how not to completely lose his mind?

Semyon has spent many years at the camp. So many that he doesn't remember if he ever lived differently. Endless cycles overlap, forming a whimsical tangle of memories. Will the story soon end... or is it just beginning?
