Fayum

Ilya Orlov used to earn a living as an animator in the squares of St. Petersburg, but now he sells immortality: composing fayums on demand—short novellas based on the biography of the client.

But one April night, an improbable incident occurs, distorting Ilya's fate.

And now, together with him, we must find out how far a character can lead an author—in search of the key to his secret, in search of a missing beloved, or justice, or finally, the "true version of himself".

Together, we will experience and testify to immortality: is it an illusion, a mirage that tempts the imagination, or a true miracle?
