Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Sergey is an attractive man approaching forty who is acutely aware that nothing he has achieved during the better part of his life has brought him any satisfaction. His frantic sprints between his work, his lover and his family, and the constant lies he uses to explain his absence, only tighten the noose around his neck. The three days that separate him from his birthday might present an opportunity to change everything, or he might just lose it all instead. Written by X |
