Description

Nearly three decades later, they still aren’t husband and wife, even though they raised a son, fought through difficulties, and overcame crises. All this time, they’ve endured hypocritical condemnation from everyone around them. The past holds Kostya and Dina in a tight trap, and only one feeling allows them to rise above everyday life and petty feuds—the all-powerful feeling that once pushed them toward each other and made them lovers…

The heroes of this story—Dina and Kostya—have been together for many years. But life circumstances don’t allow them to formally register their relationship. In our country, from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, there was a special atmosphere—the one that would later be called the stagnation period—so the lack of a stamp in their passports creates many problems for a loving couple. Besides, “public opinion,” not spoiled by bright events, is outraged not only by the illegality of their relationship, but most of all by the fact that this pair is absolutely and indecently happy… And keeps them side by side not by official obligation, but by a great real feeling—the one that turns a man and a woman into Lovers…
