The Fifth Corner
Our time. A provincial town. Here, as everywhere, there are their intrigues, their heroes, their villains. And people live, of course, not only with work and household chores. People live with worries, disappointments, unexpected meetings. Once upon a time, three friends Pestrov, Suvorov and Chagin studied at the same institute, walked together, loved together. Time has passed, and youthful hobbies have grown into something more. Three friends became rivals in love. Rivals in life. Their destinies are connected by a single maze, through which they all wander, against the walls and corners of which they are thrown by love, hate, friendship.
