Based on the play by A.P. Chekhov.

🐾 Life throws up not only problems and disappointments, but also chances. You have to be able to consider them. And react to them in the right way. Kasztanka had a chance to change her life for the better. But she chose the familiar instead of the better. And in this sense, we understand Chekhov's story as a parable about human slavery, about the eternal attachment to the notorious "comfort zone".
