A dramatic story from the finalist of the Coronation of the Word 2021 competition

Eva lived and thanked God: her husband is a hard worker, her children are healthy, and the great war has passed. But she did not know that their land no longer belonged to them. They were loaded into a wagon like disenfranchised cattle and taken away to a place unknown. Behind the Kerzon line, she left her home and the ashes of her parents and sister, whose village was burned by the Poles. On the train, Eva saves a baby from death and receives a gift from the Lemko family as a token of gratitude - a wooden apple...

Ira, Eva's granddaughter, lives without a goal, without a dream. Until she finds herself in eastern Ukraine on an editorial assignment. In Pisky, she sees a wooden apple in the hands of a woman hiding from shelling with her son...

Fate has embroidered the lives of three women in red and black. "Wasn't it all in vain?" one of them seems to ask. And fate will give her an answer with the blossom of an apple tree.
