People's desire for simple human happiness resembles the flight of moths recklessly rushing towards the fire. They get burned, rush around the alluring, but such an insidious ghostly light, exhausted, fall, so that, having gained strength, they fly up to the fire again. These are the heroes of Olga Litavrina’s works. Happiness is nearby, you just have to stretch out your hand and here it is. Alas, everything is not so simple... And the kindergarten teacher, who became attached to an orphaned boy, and the reckless Venka Malyshev, who saved his poetess wife, and the unlucky businessman Lekha Letuev, who was disappointed in women - they all strived for love, for harmony in life and all suffered. a crushing defeat. Desperate moths indeed. Or is it really easier to squeeze through the eye of a needle... But is this so? Maybe their victory lies in this desire for true love, for real happiness? Maybe, having lost a lot, they retained the main thing in themselves - a trembling human soul? The author reflects on this, inviting her readers to share her difficult thoughts that concern any of us.
