Automatic translate
This 2017 work tells the story of feelings tested by distance, deceptive appearances, and the harsh laws of show business. Katrina Radova falls in love with Anton Tropinin, the hidden alter ego of the lead singer of a famous rock band. The conflict between the quiet everyday life of an ordinary student and the roaring crowd of the frontman’s fans constantly keeps her on edge. The author reveals in detail the underbelly of the music industry, life behind the scenes, and the high price of true feelings.
A collision with the past and the mystery of the twins
Katrina’s life changes dramatically after she begins a relationship with a popular musician. She constantly faces the consequences of his incredible fame. The situation escalates when Katya accidentally encounters a young man she thinks is her boyfriend. This man speaks rudely to her, calling the student offensive names and swinging his arm high to strike. A girl named Alina stands nearby, laughing openly.
Suddenly, the real Anton appears. He grabs the attacker’s hand. Katrina, horrified, realizes the terrible truth. Standing before her is Kirill Tropinin, Anton’s twin brother. The brothers are locked in a protracted feud. Kirill’s mother has always been the most beloved. He has become the pride of the family and simultaneously his brother’s sworn enemy. Alina turns out to be the lead singer’s ex-girlfriend. She is the sister of Arin, the band’s bass player. She cunningly manipulates the emotions of those around her.
Illusions and the choice of life path
The young people’s relationship undergoes a series of tests of trust. The musician tries to atone for his past mistakes. During one romantic encounter, he bluntly declares his love. Anton invites Katrina to join him on a major tour. The frontman wants to be with her constantly. She firmly refuses, asking him to stop. The student chooses her own path and continues her studies.
Katrina often analyzes the nature of love. She stands alone on the observation deck of a skyscraper in a strange city. She gazes at the clouds slowly drifting across the sky. The clouds seem close to her, yet remain physically out of reach. She directly associates these celestial bodies with her personal feelings. She feels that love is utterly intangible. A heavy loneliness weighs heavily on her. Katya gazes at the unfolding view with a lifeless gaze. An expensive camera hangs idle around her neck.
The concert and the scale of fan love
Katrina attends a performance by the band "Red Lords." The massive show takes place on the vast indoor stage of the Big Forum complex. For the first time, the student witnesses with her own eyes the true strength of fans’ devotion. A huge crowd of spectators quickly fills the stadium stands. People come in large, noisy groups, united by a shared anticipation and frantic anticipation of the release of new songs. The ragged energy of the audience frightens the student.
Nina Zhuravl refuses to sit at a safe distance from the stage. The blonde boldly negotiates with a burly security guard named Venya. This large man helps her make her way through the dense crowd to the very front rows of the fan zone. Katrina decides to stay away. She conserves her energy and prefers to observe the madness from afar. This harsh experience helps Katya better understand Anton’s reality. She clearly understands the burden of constantly being the center of such fanatical attention.
Sham marriage and family secrets
The plot reveals in detail the secrets of the wealthy Tropinin family. Kirill finds himself bound by a strict obligation to a young woman. The stranger has very bright cornflower-blue eyes. She directly informs Anton of the nature of their union. The girl coldly calls her relationship with Kirill a marriage of convenience. She speaks in memorized, pearly phrases. The influential father has profitably invested his daughter’s future in the Tropinin family.
Anton reacts to these bold words with open mockery. He calmly sympathizes with the girl. Kirill’s fiancée clenches her jaw and confesses something else. She says, "I love your brother." The situation is complicated by Kirill’s own strange behavior. He asks Katya to help him choose casual clothes. The two of them go to an upscale boutique. Anton’s brother stubbornly continues to hide his face. He greatly surprises Katrina with his strange mannerisms.
Complex relationships between secondary characters
At the same time, the storyline of the main character’s eccentric friend is actively developing. Nina Zhuravl has a very peculiar character. She skillfully conceals her true emotions behind an impenetrable mask of pride. A rock band drummer nicknamed Kella experiences a strong physical attraction to her. The musician openly visits Nina right in her hotel room. The blonde deliberately feigns sleep and completely refuses to talk to him.
Kella sits down next to the bed and begins her frank monologue. The musician frankly admits his desires. He would agree to be her boyfriend. For that, Nina would have to ask him directly. These words hurt the proud girl’s pride. She mentally orders him to be quiet immediately. The drummer seems to read her thoughts. He quietly asks Nina to take care of herself. The guy takes the screwdriver and leaves with his colleague Ren. Ren drives very carelessly.
Jealousy and inner demons
The touring schedule requires the musicians to travel constantly and gruelingly. The thousands of kilometers between them severely tests Anton and Katya’s relationship. The frontman suffers greatly from jealousy. He sits alone on the narrow railing of an open balcony, his legs dangling boldly. The ground is about six meters below. Anton is completely unafraid of heights. His fingers tremble slightly.
Bassist Arin quietly approaches him. The musician offers the lead singer a friendly cigarette. He immediately notices his friend’s precarious state. Anton frankly admits his helplessness. He utters heavily, "I’m going crazy." Arin reminds Tropinin of the destructive power of his vindictiveness. The bassist draws a precise parallel between his current jealousy of Katya and his old feelings for Alina. The conversation reveals deep emotional wounds in his idol.
Conversations at altitude
Events force the heroes to temporarily separate. Katrina faithfully remains at home. Anton continues to fly from one city to another. The frontman is forced to hide his face from the public. Octavius is genuinely happy to remove his mask. The keyboardist has beautiful feminine features and clear, cold eyes. Oct carefully conceals his appearance for his own safety. He sincerely wants to walk the streets in peace.
Mars flirts with a beautiful flight attendant as usual. The musician asks the girl to help him fasten his seatbelt. The flight attendant politely complies. Anton reclines comfortably in his soft airliner seat. The aircraft quickly accelerates down the runway. The plane takes off smoothly and dives into thick clouds. The lead singer gazes out the small window, mesmerized. He loves the endless sky. He sees it as a symbol of absolute purity. His important conversation with the mysterious stranger takes place immediately after the plane lands.
