The play by K. Klimovsky “The Widow, Shorty, Seal and Others” is woven from three short stories about love. Three short stories, three love stories. Simple stories told by ordinary people.
Here is a widow for whom love is when you keep promises ...
Here is a guard in a circus who carried his childhood love through his life ...
For a housewife, love is the fear of losing her ... Indeed, the longer happiness lasts, the more expensive it will be to pay for it.
All the characters, so different and not like each other, are trying to answer the question - so what is love?
