Home is a sacred place, a link to the childhood. And memories about it are the warmest, the happiest, and the sunniest. When we feel anxious, we return to the sweet home environment... to our parents...
Young Korina (now Yeletskaya) left home when she was a little girl. Kuzovkin never had his own home. Deprived of his fortune, he became a scrounger at Korins’ house. He played the role of yard jester. All his life he was happy with little: worn-out boots, a plate of food, and let it be what will be.
Many years passed. And here is the meeting so long awaited: a brilliant beauty from Petersburg comes after her 7 years’ absence to visit her family house and an old beget eating the others’ bread since he was a young man. She rejoices, laughs, cries, remembers ... He absorbs all her movements, every word ...
The newly-wedded spouse of Yeletskaya, his closest neighbours, by old habit, mock the wretched old Kuzovkin, make him drunk and mock him. But humiliation does not kill the nobility! The mystery that has came out from the very depths of the tormented human soul instantly changes the turn of events.
But he is deprived even of his secret! And what he gets instead? And is it possible for a man today, as in the times of Turgenev, to defend his trampled dignity, his worth as a person? Who to seek compassion? And what price we’ll have to pay for that?
Sensitive, poetic, “transparent” performance about kindness and understanding, about the nobility of the human soul, the strange things of love and its secrets, about the burden of loneliness ...
