Parable

One difficult day a guardian angel in the image of an ordinary man named Philip visits young scientist Andrey and declares his love for him. To begin with Andrey tries to ignore Philip’s actions believing them to be a foolish and spiteful joke. But eventually Philip’s patience and care invoke a strong response in Andrey, and then Philip disappears forever…

The mystical elements in this subject make it possible to interpret this story as a modern romantic tale where a humane philosophic idea of real human destiny is born.
