Reach for the sky (Kosnutsya neba)

25-year old Taya works as an Agony Aunt for a woman’s magazine. While she advises her readers well, she unfortunately does not adopt the same principles in her own life. Separated from her alcoholic husband, Taya has recently broken up with her married boyfriend. With her life in chaos, she decides to take her own advice and calls a psychologist. During their conversation, she tells him about her first real love – her best friend Lida’s father. Almost twice her age and obviously in the throes of a midlife crisis, their affair did develop until it was discovered by his daughter. As a result, Taya simultaneously lost both her best friend and her lover and retelling her story brings back sad and painful memories.
