I'm sorry. They won't shoot. To say - not to say

Victoria Tokareva is a famous writer and screenwriter, familiar to Russian viewers from her favorite films from childhood: “Literature Lesson”, “Gentlemen of Fortune”, “Mimino”, “A Dog Walked on the Piano”, “You Are...”. A special place in Tokareva’s work is occupied... by short stories and novellas, warm and lively, with gentle humor, written in an inimitable, light, “Tokareva” language. With cute characters who sometimes remind us of ourselves. “Pushkin's calmness” - this is what one can say about the prose of Victoria Tokareva, whose works console and help to accept life as it is, in all its fullness, complexity and fragile charm.
She dreamed of finding happiness. Hopes for a better life, the desire to be needed by someone - but in the end the bitterness of disappointment. You need to find the strength within yourself to be able to start all over again...
