On one scale—many years of serene peace; on the other— a short day full of doubts and despair.
Although it all began so well—the Master and Margarita… Or rather, the famous esoteric writer Roman Erland and his wife Alice have been happily married for a long time, despite a big age difference. Like in a fairy tale, they live in a Gothic “castle” built with the writer’s fees. Everyone adores Roman—readers, neighbors, and even his stepmother. Except for Ignat, the stepson brother.
One day Alice finds her husband’s will and understands that her entire previous life was a lie. What had Roman been hiding for years? What family secrets had he kept from his young wife? Maybe he was simply protecting his beautiful spouse from the harsh, unflattering reality? And Alice should be grateful to her husband for turning her marriage into a golden dream?
Or should she trust an old enemy of the family and believe the ruthless brute Ignat? And how do you understand your heart—who it is truly given to?
