The aviator

A man wakes up in a hospital bed, with no idea of who he is or how he came to be there.

The only information the doctor shares with his patient before urging him to write down every thought and feeling that comes to mind is the young man's name: Innokenty Petrovich Platonov.

As Innokenty starts to write, out pours a kaleidoscope of images, faces and events, weaving the story of a young man in Russia in the early twentieth century, through the turbulence of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath.

As Innokenty begins to build a vivid picture of his former life, only one question remains: how is he able to remember the start of the twentieth century, when the pills by his bedside were made in 1999?
