On the first day of his arrival in Almaty, walking around the city at night, he found a diary on a bench, into which was pasted a photograph of a beautiful girl in a wide-brimmed hat. This incident will remain in Nick's memory for life. Since then, the search for the owner of the diary has absorbed all of his attention. The next day, he decided at all costs to find a stranger.
The diary contained handwritten notes in Kazakh. Of course, Nick did not know Kazakh, but he was sure that they would help him in his search.
