Senior pupil Misha falls in love with his former teacher. Olga Sergeevna consciously returns his feelings even with all of the risk involved. This frst love, doomed and forbid- den, changes Misha, leaving his soul in sor- row… 16-year-old Misha fell in love with his new school teacher at frst sight. He became a young pioneer leader just to stay by her side. While the rest of the class was watching a theatre show their fngers cross… They met in the shadows, in an abandoned tram park, at the school’sback door, and fnally at her fat. Very soon, the young teacher’s «immoral» be- havior becomes the subject of her colleague’s rumors. She is forced to leave the school. Still, her passionate love of Misha changed Olga Sergeevna.
