In the beginning, an "orb" is cast unto Earth. "It" can do two things: change into the form of the thing that stimulates "it"; and come back to life after death. "It" morphs from orb to rock, then to wolf, and finally to boy, but roams about like a newborn who knows nothing. As a boy, "it" becomes Fushi. Through encounters with human kindness, Fushi not only gains survival skills, but grows as a "person". But his journey is darkened by the inexplicable and destructive enemy Nokker, as well as cruel partings with the people he loves.

Meet Nastya, 29 years old, designer-architect, married. Five completely different inner selves get along in it. This is the inner child; the hostess responsible for the attacks of all general cleaning; the control-obsessed demanding parent; the goddess of pleasure and a self-confident, daring careerist. Each of them has their own interests and ideas about happiness. They cheat, argue and fight among themselves. But when Nastya simultaneously loses her job, husband and best friend, the five will face a difficult task. They will have to learn how to negotiate with each other and make compromises — all in order for Nastya to be able to say with confidence: "I love myself all!"
