Three babies are born in one day and one only moment (on the eleventh of November 1985 at 1 p.m.) and named with the only name Victorino. This name is the one that predecirs the common fatal future for three of them.
Three couples of future Victorinos parents meet during their life a
strange Hermit man , who says the same fatal prediction to all of them.
He predicirs one of three Victorinos born at the same moment will die
as soon as all three of them meet in one place.
Victorinos live parallel lives in different social group,
different places with different approaches of their lives, they are not
involved into the prediction as all their parents keep it in secret. It
seems like them never to meet thus the prediction seems never to come
in force.
But one the destiny brings the author (who is turned into a killer
after his dreams), a police officer (glared a revenge) and a wealthy
businessman (who has all the good things of life) in one place and one
time. Their meeting is unavoidable – the Prediction seems to catch one
of Victorinos even when being a surprise for him.
