Plot summary

Niki's family has taken shelter in the tunnels of the Kharkiv metro station, hiding from the Russian bombings that rage outside. Niki is twelve years old. His mother, his stepfather and his sister Anya are with him, and they arrived on a cold February morning. For them the daylight above ground means mortal danger, so Niki is not allowed to go up to the surface and stays beneath the neon lights. He wanders aimlessly among the full platforms and the abandoned train cars. There he meets Vika, who is eleven years old, and the two children become friends at the station.
