An old friend of Jadwiga comes to Montenegro to visit the former ballerina, 70-year-old Olga. The women met as children; both danced at the Bolshoi Theater. Throughout the long day, the friends remember their lives. Olga's is calm and measured; Jadwiga’s, on the contrary, is stormy and dramatic. Elena Ronina’s book tells about the need to strive to be honest with oneself, not to forget goodness, not to betray friends, to patiently accept the complexity of a loved one’s character, to diligently build relationships with children.< /p>
