Шестое чувство судьбы
Стремление к свободе выбора, так ли оно безопасно там, где ты остаешься один на один со своей судьбой? Ведь только ей известно, какой путь ведет к пьянящему будущему, а какой разобьет все мечты на мелкие осколки и подрежет на лету крылья. И стоит ли бежать от того, что, казалось бы, ведет тебя в никуда и чего душа так упорно не принимает? Или, может быть, нужно просто склонить колени перед ней, такой неумолимой судьбой, и тогда она сжалится и подарит то, чего так отчаянно желает сердце? Только пройдя тернистой тропой на пути к мечте стать актрисой, только вкусив все прелести игры в фронтовом театре, только поневоле оказавшись в отношениях с нелюбимым мужчиной, героиня со временем поймет, что иногда нужно просто перестать грести против течения и тогда река судьбы обязательно вынесет лодку жизни к нужному берегу.
