The collection includes selected plays by the best contemporary playwrights (Maria Zelinskaya, Anastasia Bukreeva, Maria Malukhina, Vera Soroka, Svetlana Bazhenova, Alexey Zhitkovsky, Ivan Andreev, Dina Safina, Tonya Yablochkina), who were included in the shortlists of the Remarque competition from different years. There are funny and sad stories among them about how we have forgotten how to dream and the crisis is inevitable, the terrible unwillingness to look into the eyes of reality, about traps from which there is no escape, about discoveries, about the inability to talk and hear each other, about happiness, about the torments of creativity, about the value of every moment.
