Where to Watch

Classic overview

Television version of the solo performance by the Saint Petersburg Academic Theatre named after Lensovet. The play features two main characters: a boy, Oscar, who is terminally ill, and the Pink Lady, one of the caregivers dressed in pink, who looks after sick children. The Pink Lady, or as Oscar calls her, Pink Mama, offers the boy a game — every day he "lives" 10 years of his life. In the 10 days remaining before the boy's death, his entire life unfolds: from childhood, youth, and marriage, to old age and death. Additionally, on the Pink Lady's advice, Oscar turns to God and writes Him letters.
