About the title
Moscow, 1952, mid-October, right after the 19th Congress of the CPSU. A communal apartment on Bolshaya Pirogovka Street. One of the rooms is home to the Petkevich family: Ariadna and her husband Boris, along with her parents — philosophy professor Pavel Kazimirovich and his wife Angelina Fyodorovna. In the few months remaining before Stalin's death, the family goes through a series of dramatic events. Yet amid this frightening era of antisemitic sentiment, the fabricated "Doctors' Plot," denunciations, and informers, there are still people living their lives without losing their honor and dignity. The twists of fate cannot stop our heroine from remaining a pure and sincere person and, in the end, unexpectedly finding love.
