Alesya, a nine-grader, has just buried her mother. How will she keep on living? What will she do? Her village is not a city, she’s got to take care of a caw, a pig and chickens. She needs to go to school. A man comes from town to persuade her to move to his apartment and live with his family. Why? Who is he, this kind man? The questions haunt the reader until the end of the play “Нехта ходзіць за вакном...” (Someone’s Walking Ouside). The collection also features the stories “Жаночы вулей” (Women’s Beehive), “Курорт для зяця” (A Resort for the Son in Law), and the two-act play “Стары і дарога” (The Old Man and the Road), in which action takes place on the road in time dimensions. Makar, the old man, talks to the road as if with a living person, shares his joy and sorrows. He lives alone at a home at the entrance to the village. That is why he meets everyone and sees everyone off. When time comes to die he went to say his favorite road goodbye. “I wish only our cars and good people used this road,” he says.
