They justify the decision by stating that only a part of deceased was buried. A film novel, completed at the and of '60s, tells about the events taking place in the future, at the threshold of the 21st century.

From then on, medicine has made tremendous progress in transplantology. What seemed to be a pure fantasy in the past, is real now.
