Любовь в тягость

23 mai͡a Delii ispolni͡aetsi͡a 45 let. I v ėtot zhe denʹ ee matʹ Amalii͡a pogibaet pri tainstvennykh obstoi͡atelʹstvakh: dvoe malʹchikov nautro nakhodi͡at ee kolyshushcheesi͡a v vode telo. Delii͡a vynuzhdena ekhatʹ v Neapolʹ - gorod, v udushai͡ushcheĭ atmosfere kotorogo proshla ee i͡unostʹ i v kotoryĭ ona by khotela nikogda bolʹshe ne vozvrashchatʹsi͡a. Popytki poni͡atʹ, pri kakikh obstoi͡atelʹstva pogibla ee matʹ, privodi͡at k tomu, chto Delii͡a sovershaet puteshestvie v samye otdalennye ugolki svoego podsoznanii͡a, pogruzhaetsi͡a v sobstvennoe proshloe, gde khranitsi͡a t͡selyĭ vorokh ti͡azhelykh i boleznennykh vospominaniĭ. V rezulʹtate pravda perepletaetsi͡a s vymyslom, proshloe - s nastoi͡ashchim, a figura materi raskryvaetsi͡a pered Delieĭ s sovershenno neozhidannoĭ storony, pozvoli͡ai͡a naĭti otvet na vopros, kto zhe ona, Delii͡a, estʹ na samom dele.

Delia turns 45 on May 23. And on the same day, her mother Amalia dies under mysterious circumstances: two boys find her body swaying in the water the next morning. Delia is forced to go to Naples — the city in the suffocating atmosphere of which her youth was spent and to which she would like to never return again. Attempts to understand the circumstances under which her mother died lead to the fact that Delia makes a journey to the most remote corners of her subconscious, plunges into her own past, where a whole heap of difficult and painful memories is stored. As a result, the truth is intertwined with fiction, the past is intertwined with the present, and the figure of the mother is revealed to Delia from a completely unexpected side, allowing her to find the answer to the question of who she, Delia, really is.
