"How long ago it was, and was there anyway what was ..."

With these words from a letter written more than a hundred years ago, a performance begins.

Sisters Prozorov are deeply unhappy. These noble young women never found their place in life.

Most recently their father died, the general. Grief from this loss is difficult for them to survive.

They are gasping for the boredom of a provincial city, and most importantly for lack of love.

And their only brother is unmarried.

The eldest of sisters does not like and does not respect her husband.

The average sister remained an old maid. It seeks to fill the void of its life with a multitude of unnecessary deeds.

The younger sister fell in love, but is afraid even to admit it.

How to survive in the whirlpool of passions and anxieties? Men do not live up to their expectations.

They dream about interesting work, about a new life in a big city, about Moscow.

But it's impossible to escape from oneself.

Was it because Hama Bruta was gone, that he was afraid? Or because he was tempted?

The student of the theological seminary could not stand, could not stand the test with witch charms.

He sang the humble pantochka humbly, recited the prayers regularly, and even circled the circle around himself to protect himself from demonic forces. And all the same, he was overcome by a witch.

Three nights fought Homa with temptation. The first survived, the second survived, and the third broke. What prevented him from remaining faithful to the light? Why did he succumb to demonic charms?

In an enchanted world in which it is dangerous to go beyond the circle, losing is not necessarily a loss, and victory is not always a victory. Homa Brutus fought, and his struggle became the expression of his bold soul. Fight: a philosopher - with loneliness, a seminarian - with temptation, a poet - with death, - is destined from the beginning. And there is no end to this struggle.

"You want an animal's happiness, but life will not let you get drunk and be happy, and sometimes it will be strangled with blows."

Women are unpredictable. From them you can wait for anything.

A young widow still mourns for her husband, but she is bored with her alone. That would meet a real man! He would have been her support in life, and she would have surrounded him with care.

But some impudent person comes to her estate, who demands that she immediately give away the money that his husband owed him.

How dare he talk so insolently with a woman! Yes, he is handsome, tall and stately. In addition, a brave military man. But completely ill-mannered! Maybe I should fall into a swoon?

Here such cheat! Lured all the same guy.

And the second lady to match her. For a long time she misses the girls. It would Seem to be happy for any groom. And a familiar neighbor came to her, a decent and decent man.

True, a little zanudliv. But this is not the main thing.

And she absolutely tortured him with cavils. So you can stay without a husband!

It's good that her father hinted at the purpose of his neighbor's visit.

But will the young people be happy?

"In family life, the most important screw is love."

How much does love cost.

Everything is sold and everything is bought. Everything has a price. Everyone has a price. The market economy has penetrated into the world of human relations.

He sold his dream. And what did you want to become as a child? A cosmonaut, a cook, a fireman, a teacher? Most likely, they chose noble professions.

And he so dreamed of becoming a scientist! Represented himself in the ghostly light of a laboratory with a test tube in his hand. In a dream, I dreamed of science.

But it was necessary to keep an old father. Therefore I had to serve not the science, but the state. In the end, to become a policeman is to work for the benefit of society.

Now the father is dead. Empty apartment is covered with dusty furniture. Here it is, an inheritance. All that remains of a loved one. It's time to appreciate everything.

But, the more the appraiser lingers, considering the price, the clearer it is that how much is past and present, successes and failures.

Three hammer blows. Sales!

The crisis of middle age ... The crisis in creativity ...

Is it normal to make films "normal"? Or, nevertheless, you need to shoot well, if not perfectly, so that you can immediately see: the director wanted to speak out, it's important to tell, he did not shoot the film for the sake of money, for the sake of art.

But that's just where to get it, the art of it, the idea is high, if nothing goes into your head?
