"What does it mean to feel completely free?"

Such serious questions are posed to the professor of English literature by his new student.

She works as a hairdresser, but she worries that she does not understand the beauty of opera or ballet.

Many of the poems of famous poets seem too complicated for her. She reads them, but the meaning escapes her.

So the curious girl decided to go to the Open University. Even invented a new name for myself.

The professor is already fifty. Life with an unloved wife and teaching activities for a long time he was disgusted. He quietly drinks, not hoping for a better share.

Meeting with an interesting and uncommon girl turned out to be a complete surprise.

For him, every conversation with Rita is like a breath of fresh air.

Are they bound by tender feelings, and not just by the relationship of the teacher and the student? He is afraid even of himself to admit it.
