The story of our contemporary, St. Petersburg artist Georgy Gashev, a talented icon painter, a student of the famous Zinon (Theodore), who in the 80s revived the school of Andrei Rublev and the traditions of ancient Russian painting. Using the example of the hero's unique fate, an attempt is made to objectively comprehend the fate of the creative part of our generation, who were born in the USSR and went through various trials in search of God, the meaning of life and their path. This is the story of the "return of the prodigal son."
