"I don't know how to be silent when my heart is speaking."

Set in the enchanting streets of St. Petersburg, this is a story of a young man who is a dreamer, and wanders on the city's deserted lanes during long summer nights.

On a foggy night, under the hazy streetlights, a young man met Nastenka, who captured his heart with her beauty and innocence. They spent four consecutive nights together, as he becomes increasingly besotted with Nastenka, sharing his innermost thoughts and feelings.

Just as he was beginning to feel safe in their oasis, he discovers that Nastenka is in love with another man; a prince who has promised to return to her after a long absence. Yet, he is certain that even Nastenka is drawn to him, each grappling with their own sense of longing and desire for connection.

Through this vivid narrative of the intoxicating power of hope, the young man's monologues reveal his absolute yearning for love, while Nastenka's vulnerability and romantic idealism add layers of emotion to the story.

Through these fragile yet sublime characters we witness the beauty and pain of unrequited love.
