Who knows the poet's lines: "My life, or did I dream you?" Who hasn't caught themselves thinking that they haven't even lived yet, but were only preparing for real life, and that everything that has happened so far was just a waking dream? If this feeling is familiar to you, then this book is for you, for it is the story of "a man awakened." But what can awaken a man? Especially a modern man.

What life event could be more than a mother's soft voice from childhood, but something like a foreman's sharp shout, awakening a sleepy person to a new reality?

For the hero of this book, such a wake-up call was a short black-and-white film about an ancient saint named Simeon.

An initially casual encounter with an on-screen eccentric turns the protagonist's life upside down. Or perhaps the opposite: from head to foot. The reader will decide for themselves. Before you is the debut work of fiction by one of the most prominent priests of our time, a story-reflection: “What would happen if a modern person encountered an ancient ascetic whose life was dedicated to an unimaginably great feat?”
