Description

Sometimes the plots of our life are outwardly simple. Sometimes the situation is very ordinary and understandable. But there is one detail that changes everything if you know how to track its path and hear its history, and how to understand its meaning.

This story is a story of a forgotten promise. All of it is reflected in one small fragment: a Christmas tree pierced by an arrow. The rest is just an emotional decoration of the story.

When you open up to a stranger, and he pretends that he cares about you, promises you a trifle that you didn’t even ask for, knowing that it’s big for you. When you let him come deeper into yourself, giving him a place inside your heart. And he forgets the promise because it was never important, he just wanted to receive “like” in a moment, nothing else.

You thought that you met a friend, but really you just met a guy collecting applause. And no one owes anything to anyone, and you will pretend even to yourself that it’s a trifle.


But your heart is a little broken.


And you meet the new year alone without the Christmas tree. And you decide to become Santa yourself. And you grow from it. To ask less, to give more - you are moving to unconditional love.

But your heart is still a little broken.
