They are sisters. Tanya, yesterday's high school student, an airy young lady, brought up on Pushkin's poems, turns into a loving woman and a selfless mother.

For the family life of the sisters, the great historical upheavals of the early twentieth century are simple everyday occurrences, when death is a common occurrence; when you are used to the fear that you will take a letter from the envelope from someone who is no longer there. And it is impossible to protect yourself from suffering. But they not only bend to the ground, but also point upward.
