Summary

This story will not amuse you, will not cheer you up, but it will make you stop for a moment and look back at your life from a different angle.

The coffin-maker Yakov is shocked by his wife's illness, with whom he lived for 52 years. An understanding suddenly came to him that the woman had never seen love or affection from him for the entire time of family life. But only accusations and abuse. The husband, who fell into extreme stinginess, forbade her to drink tea, and the unfortunate woman was forced to drink empty boiling water. Her whole life was spent in work and utmost need in the tiny hut where Yakov stored, ready for sale, coffins. Yakov feels acute pity for his wife and even takes her to the doctor. But it's too late....
