The protagonist of Yulia Simbirskaya's new book is a young and talented art historian who has almost lost herself after several years of a difficult marriage. She is forced to flee, as life with her husband has become truly dangerous. Her four-year-old daughter, Mia, loves her dad very much and dreams of defeating the "monster" living inside him. The vast airport becomes the place where mother and daughter, seeking salvation, meet a very old hare who dreams of flying, befriend an aircraft mechanic yearning for the past, and a photographer searching for his childhood.
The airport has become a pivotal place, completely changing the course of life for all the book's characters. After all, nothing in life happens by accident, and everyone eventually finds their own runway to leave their old life behind. Sometimes, taking off from it is vital—to save oneself.
