Three Cinema Tickets

Sasha and Zhenya are best friends since childhood: together in school, at practices, and on weekends. One day, a girl from the bus stop appears in their lives. Both Sasha and Zhenya notice her, but neither of them dares to approach. These furtive glances could have continued, but the stranger appears to be getting gloomier each day, and then she disappears altogether. After some time, the friends encounter the girl in the subway - beaten, dirty, with an inscrutable gaze. Sasha and Zhenya help her, take her in, and learn her horrifying secret. Now they are the only ones who Vasilysa, the stranger from the bus stop, can trust, and with whom she can find support and warmth. Vasilysa stays in Sasha's apartment since he lives alone, abandoned by his family. Zhenya endures a tyrannical father and an indifferent mother. But when they are together, the world changes: past traumas, cruelty, and indifference no longer remain. Sasha, Zhenya, and Vasilysa reunite after their school graduation and spend all their free time together: studying, helping each other, and discussing their feelings. They rapidly grow up, and the older they become, the clearer it is that their relationship is not just friendship. Sasha, Zhenya, and Vasilysa are connected, and they must protect their bond from the prejudices and malice of the outside world. Will they be able to overcome all obstacles without losing themselves and their feelings? Will society accept them as they are - young, bright, and loving? Yana Tkacheva is the author of the epic fantasy duology 'Gods as Humans.' This time, she writes not about a fictional world, but about the real world and the love story of three adults. Each of the characters carries a burden that many would find unbearable. But Sasha, Zhenya, and Vasilysa find the strength for this trial in their support and trust for each other.
