Seventeen-year-old Anya lives in Kirov in a completely unique world. She knows Ozhegov's dictionary by heart and fills her days with a multitude of strange rituals. Words are as alive for her as people, and her soul literally aches for her loved ones. The girl doesn't immediately realize that she has obsessive-compulsive disorder, but then learns to live with this understanding. This is a story of growing up and moral development, as if the hero of 'Bury Me Behind the Baseboard' were a seventeen-year-old girl. A story of friendship and a sense of responsibility for oneself and those around her.
