Maria Bekker

Based on true story of the most famous Soviet counterfeiter.

We can invent love for ourselves, but it is not in our power to lie. Love is a gift, and it is either there or it is not. Everything else is our fantasies.

Two people meet and fall in love. According to all around them, their love is improper and inconvenient, as our heroes are past 70. Elsa is recently widowed and should be in mourning, even for the husband she never loved. But Elsa and Leonid not only do not hide their love, they’re also going to get married and go travelling to find their own land — Elsa’s Land. Their love story sounds particularly up-to-date as it refers to the elder audience who took the biggest hit of the global pandemic. It encourages them to live and love no matter what.
