The book delves into themes of romance, societal expectations, and the clash between humans and extraterrestrial beings, focusing on the longing for adventure and identity in an alien environment. The story centers on Koroby, a young Venusian woman who feels trapped in her mundane life and yearns for excitement. On her way to her wedding to Yasak, she becomes captivated by a mysterious green light in the sky, leading her to a crashed alien spacecraft. Here, she encounters Robert, an enigmatic figure who claims to have come from another world, Terra. As Koroby grapples with her feelings for Robert, she discovers that he is not the savior she imagined, but rather a complex being lacking emotions, ultimately revealing profound truths about the nature of love and the dangers of romantic idealization. The tale culminates in tragedy, as Robert's true identity is uncovered, revealing him to be a robotic entity rather than a god, shaking the foundations of Koroby's dreams.
