"Alice, Katia, and Fani. Together, in the same neighborhood, together in elementary and middle school, day and night together. When they got married, they drifted apart, as if the new life sucked them in and took their minds to other places, to other cities, and they flew away and were forgotten.
Distance lulled their feelings to sleep, and slowly the friendship was stashed away like a stuffed bird in the trunks of youth that never returns. It stayed there like a garment of past fashion, which is beautiful, new, and neither given away nor thrown out. Last night, in a moment that fell like a divine drop, like a heavenly "must" of reunion, the childhood album opened, and the pressed flower had not dried out. It smelled wonderful as it did then, as true friendship and love always do."
Katia, Alice, and Fani are connected by a deep friendship from their childhood years. While they were once inseparable, they drifted apart over the course of their lives. All three got married, but for different reasons, each of them failed in their marriages. They meet again after years and decide to make a fresh start, having each other as companions and supporters.
They reject social recognition and their financial comfort and unite their fates in an effort to regain their lost innocence and youthful vitality, but also to find the balance, self-awareness, and self-esteem they need to establish their future happiness.
