Juliet's Winter

Imagine the heroine of Shakespeare’s play survived—but without Romeo. How would she look in adulthood?

Maybe she would resemble Julia from Vera Kolochкова’s new work—a woman who became a widow even before giving birth to her son.

Would Juliet want to experience love again, or would she live in memories of her lost love?

What would her autumn be like? And winter? What could be more sad… than Juliet’s winter?

Yulia, a strong and steadfast woman who raised her son on her own, long ago gave up dreams of love, not expecting it…

But love, like a snowdrop pushing through snow during a thaw, has grown in her soul and melted the ice that froze her heart.
