Anna Nenkor is a successful artist whose paintings are sold worldwide, yet she was once a child raised in an orphanage in a small provincial town. Twenty years later, she returns to her former school to gift the children a mural illustrating a fairy tale—and, most importantly, to instill faith and hope for the future. Through her own example, Anna shows the children that it is possible to achieve success, even if you come from “the system.”

Lyubov met her future husband, Alexey, while working at one of Moscow's most prestigious companies. She immediately began envisioning a picture-perfect life—and for a while, it seemed to come true. After their wedding, the newlyweds, now the Vilyanskys, embarked on a honeymoon to New Zealand. Dreaming of oceans and a life under sail, they made plans for a fresh start. But life had other ideas. By a twist of fate, they found themselves on a small island in the middle of the Rybinsk Reservoir—and fell deeply in love with the place. Trading their high-paying jobs and city comforts for a modest country house, Alexey and Lyubov defied their parents’ expectations to build a life far from the chaos and societal norms of urban living. Through the challenges of adapting to this new reality, the couple discovered a profound truth: they found their authentic selves and learned to appreciate and unconditionally love each other.
