It's either Venice or St. Petersburg... Or maybe some other city on the planet, where a quiet river flows through the whole city, filling it with its secrets, its history. Along this river, when one lover got to the window of a pretty girl. The other, on the other hand, was taking his lady of the heart to the crown. And someone was going on his last journey... Coins were thrown from this bridge for happiness, closed locks for eternal love. And who wanted to drown themselves from unhappy love.

How many joys and sufferings this water channel contains...

Only it knows how many people it has made happy and how many people have been denied this.

But time passes, and the water flows. And it will wash away everything...
