Plot: Two young women caught in a toxic relationship are trying to ultimately grow up against the backdrop of the provincial Eastern Austro-Hungary 1900. The plot revolves around the controversial relationship between maid Stefania Chornenko and blueblood Adelia Anger. Both Stefania's parents and Adelia's mother died during the fire in 1868. Doctor Anger, Adelia's father, adopted neighbors' orphan. Girls grew up together to become as close as sisters, though Stefania served as the maid. This attachment develops into love-trap: on one hand full of mutual manipulation and jealousy, but equally based on care and devotion. The illusion of balance was broken when Adelia married sculptor Petro. Everything gets even more complicated when Joseph, the old love interest of Stefa, returns to town as the priest and married man. The screen adaptation of 'Felix Austria' bestselling novel by Sophia Andrukhovych.
