It was previously believed that Faina Ranevskaya was not just an “old maid”, but almost a man-hater, she never fell in love or got married. She was even credited with the authorship of the well-known witticism: “A good deed cannot be called marriage.” But it turns out that in Ranevskaya’s destiny there was only one, but a great love - love-obsession, love - “sunstroke”, love for life. To whom did the genius give her heart actress? Whom could she not forget for the rest of her days? To whom was she faithful “in both joy and sorrow”? And why did she keep this secret for almost half a century? And when she finally decided to tell it, through the usual irony and Ranevskaya’s “trademark” witticisms and aphorisms, such genuine pain, such sorrow, such “Yaroslavna’s cry” broke through that there was a lump in the throat... For many years this confession was considered missing, lost, burned by Ranevskaya herself. But manuscripts don’t burn!
