The play is based on the script of the film of the same name by Ilya Averbakh from 1975, directed by Andrey Tsisaruk. A high school girl from a dysfunctional family runs away from home and finds refuge with a young teacher, Vera Ivanovna. At this moment, two opposing characters collide: the refined and intellectual one with the unformed and rebellious one. Very quickly, the teenage girl begins to shamelessly take advantage of Vera Ivanovna's kindness and manipulate her. This confrontation changes the fates of both heroines. Why is it forbidden to read someone else's letters? Today, this question is as relevant as it was 50 years ago. Other equally important questions raised in the play are also relevant.
