Vika could only be envied: she has a loving family, a career, and a handsome fiance. But in an instant, it all collapses. The girl gets into an accident and gets a severe spinal injury. Doctors' forecasts are sad — most likely, she will not be able to walk on her own. The groom leaves her, and the family is already in a difficult situation — her father has serious heart problems and requires urgent surgery. Against the background of all these events, the girl falls into severe depression. She blames the second participant in the accident, Artyom, who escaped with minor injuries. And he, driven by guilt, decides to help the girl and persuades her to undergo a special rehabilitation course.
A play based on the play by Svetlana Petriychuk about women who decided to virtually marry representatives of radical Islam and go to them in Syria.
The two met to mark the impending divorce.
When does your childhood go away? It goes away when instead of playing football with other kids you sit down and silently contemplate the river. When your thoughts don’t let you sleep, and a lightning bug beats in a pot like a heart. When poems come into your mind and you feel you really need to sing. It goes away when you suddenly realize: this summer is going away and it is the last summer of your childhood.
When you feel you need a fresh start, do something remarkable. Shave your head. That’s what Sasha did when she discovered that she was no longer able to live with her grandpa, who raised her, but is now hospitalized with cancer. Sasha has to move from a small town to her Dad’s in the Moscow suburbs. Unexpectedly everybody in Moscow takes her — shaved and lost — for a boy. From that point Sasha begins her wandering through the big city and its lonely, hidden places.
