Auf einer Reise durch Italien verliebt sich die Kinderbuchillustratorin Romanowa in den unangepaßten Künstler Leonid, den sie so faszinierend-rätselhaft findet, daß sie ihn nur Raskolnikow nennt. Raskolnikow macht der Romanowa den Hof, nutzt jede Gelegenheit, um mit ihr allein zu sein. Aber der Grund dafür ist ein anderer als der von der Romanowa vermutete... Vier Erzählungen über Hoffnungen und Sehnsüchte.Four stories about hopes and longings of yesterday and today
While travelling through Italy, a children's book illustrator called Romanova falls in love with Leonid, an ill-adjusted artist whom she finds so fascinating and enigmatic that she nicknames him Raskolnikov. Raskolnikov woos her and takes every opportunity to be alone with her. But his reasons are not what Romanova thinks they are, and the sentimental journey reaches an unexpected end. "Pantoffeltierchen" is the story of a woman whose whole life revolves around her husband, her children and her efforts to make a happy, comfortable home. Marianna is totally dedicated and believes that she is one of the few women to have a really happy marriage - until one day she accidentally overhears a telephone conversation between two strangers.
