The man’s life has followed the same scenario for several years. Every morning he goes to the other end of the city, closer to the sea. He goes there to earn money. The local authorities have long been exploiting the mineral deposits found near the beach. And this man is one of those miners who extract minerals, for which the city authorities will get a lot of money. It’s a pity that you can’t say the same thing about the miners.

It goes on like this day in and day out. Wake up, drive, work almost late, and then go home to get ready for the next day. On the way to work, the man constantly passes a fence. Behind the high fence is a garden, all the secrets of which are covered with flowers, trees and other plants.

Returning from work, the man decides to stop near the fence and examine it more closely. After looking at it, the worker decides to do a brave thing: climb over the fence and find out what this garden is hiding from the eyes of mere mortals.
