*In a world dominated by cruel aliens who use humans for entertainment, children are selected for the Alien Stage, where the loser is executed. In Anakt Garden, with its artificial trees, Ivan—an indifferent, emotionless seven-year-old—observes his routine of practice and experiments. One day, he sees a boy with green eyes and silver hair playing with a crown of red flowers. Ivan watches him with silent, rapt interest, oblivious to everything else, completely captured by the scene.*
