For nearly a decade and a half, Susanna and Yakov have shared a harmonious life under the same roof. However, as time passed, their once fiery love fizzled out, leaving them in a state of emotional stagnation. Desperate for a solution, they longed for a glimmer of hope to thaw their frozen hearts and reignite the spark they had lost.

Fortunately, fate intervened, presenting this disheartened couple with a remarkable story of redemption. Little did they know, their journey towards rekindling their love would be guided by an unforeseen source - the enchanting power of nature.

Amidst their seemingly endless winter, Susanna and Yakov stumbled upon a hidden treasure - a mystical forest that radiated with vibrant colors and pulsated with rejuvenation. In awe of the mesmerizing scenery before them, the couple couldn't help but feel compelled to explore deeper into this newfound realm.

Venturing bravely into this magical forest, they were greeted by a chorus of singing birds, their cheerful melodies echoing through the trees. As Susanna and Yakov walked hand in hand, they marveled at the intricate tapestry of exotic flora, each blossom seemingly whispering tales of resilience and rebirth.

Intrigued by the forest's allure, they stumbled upon a mesmerizing waterfall gushing with undeniable energy. The cascading waters danced joyfully, creating an atmosphere of pure serenity. Mesmerized by this enchanting sight, Susanna and Yakov couldn't help but be spellbound by the waterfall's mesmerizing spell.

As they observed the waterfall's relentless flow, they were struck by a profound realization - just as water finds its way through the smallest cracks, love too can breach the barriers of time and indifference. Inspired by this newfound understanding, the couple made a promise to themselves - to embark on a journey of rediscovery and restoration.

With each passing day, Susanna and Yakov devoted themselves to reigniting the warmth and affection that they had once shared. Drawing inspiration from the resilience of nature, they nurtured their love like delicate flower buds, attending to it patiently and lovingly.

They explored new horizons together, rekindling their shared passions and forging new ones. Through open communication and emotional vulnerability, they discovered hidden layers of their hearts, unearthing the dormant love that lay dormant within.

Their revived love blossomed like a rare flower, radiating vibrant hues of happiness and contentment. With every loving embrace and affectionate gesture, they proved that, even in the harshest of winters, love can bloom again, stronger and more beautiful than ever before.

Word quickly spread about Susanna and Yakov's remarkable tale, inspiring countless others who found themselves trapped in the icy grip of stagnation. Through the couple's extraordinary journey, they became beacons of hope, encouraging others to embrace the transformative power of nature and love.

And so, their once frozen existence thawed, leaving Susanna and Yakov standing tall as a testament to the resilience of their bond. Together, they became living proof that, no matter how long the winter may last, spring always finds a way to unfurl its vibrant petals, breathing life into even the most frigid hearts.

ACT ONE

1 Park

Dynamic music is playing.

The music stops, the shouts of a man and a woman break into it, swearing.

SUSANNA (Susanna's voice, a nervous cry): Have you completely stopped understanding words? So it is necessary to be able to succeed in degradation! What's complicated? I asked to take a queue at the checkout! And so we are late, we have lost another ten minutes.

YAKOV (Yakov's voice, a nervous cry): To degrade, my dear, is a natural process, with such a wife. I have no other prospects a priori, and I have not had any since the very happy day when I married you.

Yakov and Susanna enter the stage with a quick, nervous step. They are dressed relatively simply, gray, inconspicuous. This style of clothing and overall appearance will be preserved until the last scene. Yakov carries in his hand a package with gifts for his mother's birthday.

SUSANNA (indignantly): So stop.

They stop. Susanna puts her hands on her hips.

SUSANNA (indignantly): Come on, in more detail!

Yakov tries to soften the situation, changes the subject.

YAKOV (justifying himself): And about the cash register – it's not my fault. I took my turn and defended it. I missed it once, twice, and you're still not there. So I made room. As long as you can look out. And anyway – if you were going faster, no one would be late anywhere! Go, Susanna, go!!! In five minutes, everyone will be sitting down at the table, and we are still here.

Yakov grabs Susanna by the hand, but she resists, pushes Yakov's hand away.

SUSANNA (indignantly): So I have to get ready quickly? So go and celebrate your mother's birthday yourself, since you are so fast! I've never been welcome there anyway, and they never will be. Aurora Moiseevna does not consider anyone else in this world as people except you. But my beloved son Yashenka is always there for the court. In any condition and no matter what he did. Go ahead, you're late!

Susanna turns around and goes in the other direction.

Yakov catches up with her, grabs her hand and tries to stop her.

YAKOV (justifying himself): Oh, come on! What are you inventing? Come on, they're waiting for us!

A skirmish. Yakov pulls Susanna, who resists. The case is not moving in any direction.

On the other side of the stage, a couple Valentin and Alla come out arm in arm in complete idyll. They notice familiar faces. Valentine calls out to his old friend.

VALENTIN (to Yakov): Yashka! What are you doing?

Yakov turns around, Susanna improves the moment, gently nods to Valentin and Alla and quickly leaves the stage.
