Marina Arsenyevna, the daughter of the poet Arseny Tarkovsky and the sister of film director Andrei Tarkovsky, writes about family history, childhood, the fate of her parents and the complex dialogue between father and son, Arseny and Andrei Tarkovsky, which they conducted all their lives. “I came to the conviction that in my memoir stories I must tell the whole truth, no matter how bitter it may be. The fragments, when you pick them up, hurt painfully, but there is no other way to put together the mirror in front of which the life of my loved ones passed.” Marina Tarkovskaya.
