This is an automatically translated description

The proud black-eyed Marusia wore a necklace of coral as red as blood on her chest and wanted to give it to her daughter as a gift for happiness... She believed that she knew what happiness was. But isn't it up to a woman to decide - not to fate? Because she thought: "What will people say?" And they would say that once it sticks, you can't break it off... But no one ever found out how Stepan had been waiting for her, another man's wife, every night, all his life. She gave birth to a daughter for him, because she loved him... And then people made up a legend...

In a once-promising village, now a promising place for a golf club and luxurious estates, Ruslana Ordynska, a young beauty, the daughter of a Ukrainian oligarch, comes from abroad. She is looking for not just a place to live, but a place with a "legend". Instead, she finds a dried-up lilac bush and a red bead under it, the only one on a thin thread... And a few fragile living sprouts...
