Stanislavov in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An ordinary city on the border of ‘happy Austria’, in which they live, suffer, fall in love, admire science and charlatan performances of world-famous illusionists, have fun at balls and carnivals, go for walks and hide secrets in carved chests of drawers. And against the background of the era, which for posterity will become more and more overgrown with myths about an idyllic life - the destinies of two women intertwined as tightly as tree trunks - in an inextricable bond that does not allow either to live, or to breathe, or to stay, or to leave.
