People, driven to despair, lose their humanity, they are ready to eat anything to survive. And now two women who do not know each other, two victims of their time, two opposite sides of the great darkness called hunger, find themselves at arm's length... Young Yavdokha, sighted at the level of madness, and Solia, holy blindness. One is killed by hunger, the other is saved. One promises an eternal night, the other gives hope for a happy rebirth. And they don't know that they are walking towards each other. They are walking to finally embrace each other and build a fragile bridge over the insatiable anthill of their tormentors...
