Mirages of Happiness in a Small Town

Marina is used to being the center of attention, but her relationship with her close childhood friends is truly friendly; she dislikes the idea that someone might consider them the entourage of a spoiled girl. Suddenly, among her friends appears... Nikolai Berestov, whom everyone simply calls Nik, multifaceted, interesting, impulsive, and passionate. Marina never feels calm with Nik, and their relationship cannot be called smooth: sometimes they are on the verge of breaking up, sometimes they experience rare moments of harmony and closeness. How can one understand what kind of person this restless Nikolai Berestov is, and what future awaits Marina with him? Or perhaps it is more important to understand oneself and answer the question: is love an illusion or a force that moves the world?
