Silver Letters

...Lit up with lights and the glow of candle flames at the café "Ekipazh," and it drifts through time. And over the Fontanka, as before, a sunny wind swirls around. The wind of change brings not only bitter partings, but also meetings that— even after many long years and many kilometers of roads—will inevitably happen to those who love and wait.

Waiting is the eternal lot of women in any era. Men go off to fight for some truths, while a woman is destined to stand by the window, scanning for those who may never come…

December 1916. St. Petersburg. Olga Laricheva and Sergey Gorchakov love each other, but because of a chance quarrel, the capricious beauty Olga, out of spite toward Sergey, marries her admirer Nikolai, whom her younger sister Ksenia—modest Ksenia—loves.

A world full of chaos: the red autumn of 1917, the bleak thirties, and the blockade of Leningrad—will finally send the heroes down different roads, but fate will complete its circle. And its silvery threads of letters will carry echoes of distant years to our present day, so that the ghosts of the past are finally freed from the promises and vows made.
