Nikita: My life’s purpose has always been to provide my son with a future I could only dream of. Together with my wife, we buried our feelings for each other, because that was necessary for survival and moving forward. I didn’t expect to feel those same feelings again when she appeared in my life… A cheeky, fearless, eccentric girl dressed in a punk style, smoking like a locomotive, and swearing like a sailor. She burst into my life to either destroy it—or save me.
Valeria: I was thirteen when I witnessed my mother’s death at my father’s hands. All my life I’ve been fighting—for food, for safety, for housing. I won’t let anyone control me. Not even him… Once he helped me, but I never wanted to become the kind of girl who needs saving, or for whom someone comes to take revenge. I’ve always relied on myself and didn’t expect help from others. I need to leave this as quickly as possible and get out of the city. Leave behind the miserable past that I was forced to live.
