Across provincial Russia, petty thieves, timid clerks, and weary doctors collide in moments where character is tested: a horse stolen at dawn, a shabby wedding gone wrong, charity that humiliates, love misread, pride exposed. With quiet humor and sudden cruelty, these brief tales reveal how ordinary lives veer toward folly, kindness, or regret on a single careless choice.
