Vlad Sokolovsky

Vlad Sokolovsky||16 years old. Dima Bikbaev||17 years old.

2007. Vlad had always been very sociable, loved communication and company, loved large groups, was always the first to run for a walk even in bad weather, and was always the first to help when problems arose. But... something changed.

It was summer now, everyone was out and about, the streets were constantly bustling, but he was stuck at home, rarely going outside, as if afraid of the fresh air. His parents were worried, but he brushed them off, too. Vlad was on his phone, on a VK forum. There, in the group "Friend Search. Moscow," when he was about to delete it and accidentally started typing, a guy with the nickname "Dim$$ Bk.bv" wrote:

Dim$$ Bk.bv: "Oh, Vladik is writing! Hi-hi! Why haven't you written for so long?"

He felt a certain pleasure from this message, and they chatted in the chat room, then in private messages, and eventually started texting each other every day. They didn't know each other's ages; they wanted to build their communication around their interests. Well, Bikbaev looked about two years younger than Sokolovsky, like he was 14 or 15, no more.

A couple of days later, Dima wrote the following message:

Dimchik (that's how Vlad signed him): "Listen, Vlad, maybe we could meet up and go for a walk? We live close to each other."

The movie is played from the 3rd person perspective. It's 2007 now! The guys are unpopular.
