One day, Dymitsch disappears, but he has left behind a series of dishes specifically for Iwan, which his niece Vera is to cook and serve over five consecutive evenings. Everything tastes delicious, but why does Iwan later find tiny grains of sand between his teeth? And what does the lawyer, who appears for dinner on the fifth day, want?
