My lover doesn't watch my stories

Between awareness and obsession...

Yulia is married, she has a child, responsibilities, and an established life. Suddenly, this life is interrupted by Matvey— a classmate from psychology courses. Their communication begins as safe and "aware": a few messages a day, conversations about emotions, boundaries, traumas, the true "self". It’s as if they are conducting endless therapy with each other— carefully choosing words, uncovering reactions, dissecting feelings.

Yulia becomes engrossed in the correspondence and doesn’t notice when she begins to live from message to message— tracking him online, searching for meanings in pauses, and interpreting every intonation.

She finds herself in a situation where she has to choose between stability and feelings for another man. But exiting the love triangle in the usual ways— through a breakup, compromise, or a clear choice— is impossible. And then Yulia seeks another way, analyzing her desires, fears, and illusions of intimacy layer by layer.
