Tatiana Gerden populates the romantic space with very charismatic characters. She gives them unusual abilities, hobbies and characters, is not afraid to mix styles and genres, break stereotypes and ignore the rules: It is said that Japanese masters of ikebana have fifty-one rules for making a bouquet. I like the fifty-first rule best: “The mind and heart of an artist should not be constrained by previous rules.”
Late 1950s. The usual provincial town of Peschansk, where an ordinary-looking guy lives - Seva Chernikhin.
It's just plain looking. The fact is that during the day Seva works at the factory, and in the evenings he plays an old trophy double bass named Amadeus and composes music. And Seva is an avid preferantist and artist. Music, preference, and fleeting romantic hobbies are an attempt to protect himself from the nightmares that haunt him after the tragic death of his mother.
In the same town lives Ludvika, whom the drawing teacher gave the nickname Dragonfly - for the fragility and large blue eyes. Despite her femininity and fragility, Ludvika has a steely character, she is well versed in the weapons her father collects, perfectly shoots in a shooting range and dreams of becoming a doctor.
At first glance, there is nothing in common between the two. But fate loves bizarre entanglements, especially it likes to connect those who have nothing in common.
