Moskovskaya Gorka
Rare parents, only very responsible and loving, walk in the winter with their children, many are happy to entrust these cares to nannies, grandmothers and older children. But Olga and Igor are not like that. They are honestly engaged with children on the slide, play, freeze, but fulfill their duty. Although, to be honest, they are a little bored. And they willy-nilly begin to look at each other, gradually drawing in their heads each their own image of the other. They already really want to start communicating, but upbringing, stereotypes and a story invented by everyone about a vis-a-vis prevents them from taking the first step. It already saddens them, because they really liked each other. Suddenly, children loudly reveal family secrets. It turns out that Igor is not a father, but a brother, and Olga is not a mother, but a grandmother in general. And both of them are free.
