Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi found themes for his creative writing in everything unordinary: long journeys, impressions, and love. He met his future wife Vira Deisha not in his native Vinnytsia, but at the convention of the Ukrainian organization “Hromada” in Kyiv. Find out about the story of the first romantic years of marriage of the Kotsiubynskyis, of their journeys to Crimea and how they started living together in Chernihiv in the first part of the film “Kotsiubynskyi. The ephemeral dream” in the documentary series “The Game of Fate” by VIATEL Studio narrated by Natalka Sopit.
