Description

Not so long ago, Nina was sure of her future. She had a noble job, though not a money-making one—teachers don’t become millionaires. Soon she would get married, and her mother would not be able to stop admiring her future son-in-law. And then, like a tsunami: she fell in love with a young man with a strange profession, quarreled with her mother over him, and immediately learned that she was pregnant. And the chosen one had a wife and children.

The drama isn’t only Nina’s. You can see it only with special instruments, but it reacts vividly to what’s happening. They have plenty to worry about. Until yesterday, no one suspected their existence, but today they already want to get rid of them. Silent witnesses of what is going on want to speak up—but no one will listen to them! So all that’s left is to wait tensely.

Adults are so strange—they don’t understand simple things and make one stupid mistake after another. It has always been that way: hundreds of thousands of our ancestors every day chose which path to follow, not even knowing what sorrows and joys awaited them ahead.
