A man wakes up in a hospital bed. He has no idea who he is, where he is, or how he came to be there. The only information that the doctor shares with his patient before urging him to write down every thought and feeling that comes to mind is the young man 's name- Innokenty Petrovich Platonov. As Innokenty starts to write, out pours a kaleidoscope of images, faces and events, weaving the story of a young man in Russia in the early twentieth century, through the turbulence of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath. From childhood memories of summers in the family dacha playing aviators with his cousin to the family 's compulsory move to a communal flat in the city and beyond, Innokenty gradually builds up a vivid picture of his former life. There is just one question remaining- how is he able to remember the start of the twentieth century, when the pills by his bedside were made in 1999'
