On one side of the scale - many years of serene peace, on the other - a short day full of doubts and despair. Although it all started so well - the Master and his Margarita... Or rather, the famous esoteric writer Roman Erlend and his wife Alice have long been happy married, despite the large age difference. Just like in a fairy tale, they live in a Gothic “castle” built with the writer’s fees. Everyone adores Roman: readers, neighbors, and even his stepmother. Except for Ignat, her half-brother. One day, Alice finds her husband’s will and realizes that her entire previous life was a lie. What did Roman hide for many years, what family secrets did he hide from his young wife? Perhaps he was simply protecting his beautiful wife from the harsh, unsightly reality? And should Alice be grateful to her husband for turning her marriage into a golden dream? Or should she trust the family’s longtime enemy and trust the ruthless rude Ignat? And how to understand your heart, to whom it is really given.
