After losing his parents in the war, the boy ended up in an orphanage, from which he escaped and was taken in by a village teacher. Following in the footsteps of his tutor, Valya Kandaurov graduated from the Pedagogical Institute and began working in a rural school. And then a girl from the city where he was studying came to Vale and invited him to follow her. But neither his career nor the joys of a comfortable life brought him satisfaction and he returned to his homeland.
