The protagonist of the new novel by Ksenia Buksha is the Uzbek boy Alyu, endowed with a unique gift: he is able to convince people of anything, making them believe in the impossible. Scoundrels of all sorts are trying to use Alya for their own purposes, but he himself is guided by a simple principle — to love everyone without exception and help those who can be helped. The grotesque story of Alyu’s wanderings around Moscow (without registration and documents) is gradually acquiring evangelical features, transforming into a story about a new messiah — funny, a little absurd, but completely congenial to our imperfect world.
