«Crossroads»

Based on A. Volodin’s play «Don’t Part with Your Loved Ones»

«Don’t Part with Your Loved Ones» is one of Alexander Volodin’s most widely staged and best-loved plays. At its heart are hearings of several divorce cases. The main characters - husband and wife - fall out over a trifle, but life itself magnifies the quarrel. They divorce - scatter, separate, drift apart… Time passes… Life goes on…

A real, all-consuming love is put through a harsh trial - and yet finds its way back to itself. And today, when anger and hostility keep spreading and conflicts ignite so easily, speaking about love, about the cost of separation, about how a person can wither without love, feels not merely relevant, but necessary.
