About the title
Maxim Minaev is a young and incredibly talented scientist standing on the threshold of a grand discovery that promises him a Nobel Prize. In pursuit of fame and the award, Maxim conducts a risky experiment on himself and shrinks to the size of an ordinary test tube. Finding himself in a difficult situation, the protagonist realizes he is left alone with his problems — his beloved girlfriend has left him, and his best friend turned out to be a traitor. Only a 12-year-old boy confined to a wheelchair agrees to help him.
