Thorn and Rhymer

They grew up in neighboring apartments, but it seemed as if in different worlds. The father struggled to cope with the quarrelsome and restless Malika, who behaved like a boy. Kirill grew up in a world of women, wrapped in attention and care. His mother and grandmother shaped him into the loyal, kind, reliable man they dreamed of but never met themselves.

Having fought more than once, Malika and Kirill became best friends, to others – a brother and sister. They helped each other endure the tragedies of unrequited first love and determine their calling in life.

But perhaps their ability to communicate with their eyes and the habit of sharing the most intimate things are signs of something greater than friendship?
