From late autumn to spring.
Winter in northern Europe is very long.
A closed town with not many people. All people know each other, familiar and unfamiliar.
His mother passed away early, and his father gave all his love to the brothers. But too heavy.
So his brother fled this "love" filled, even some suffocating family. Father also left. He was the only one left. The brother is back, with his wife. A few years later, after the brothers were both adults, they returned to the family.
He voluntarily moved out of the house and lived alone in the garage.
Looking at the outside world through the small glass windows of the garage.
The touch is painful, like frozen skin, which is frozen and cracked here after warming up. So he avoided all contact.
He attended church services, hurried away, and hurried back. A person.
He found a girlfriend in a box, an inflatable doll, out of nowhere.
A well-known "sex tool". Talk, chat, and treat each other like a guest.
He carefully dressed himself up to welcome the arrival of this new "life" and introduced the doll, named Bianna, to his brother and his wife.
When there is such a new "member" in the family, when he shows up in the town with his "girlfriend", everyone tries to restrain themselves and avoid looking surprised, even if it is not easy.
he is sick. But no one took him to the hospital.
The family doctor had him bring his "girlfriend" to a special course of treatment each week. He complied.
The rest of the town also saw the newcomer as a real person. Push a wheelchair for it, bathe it, do a new hairdo for it, arrange various itineraries.
She was his colleague and always wanted to be close to him. She likes him.
But he always avoided it, because he was afraid of being hurt, afraid of the pain of freezing.
Until he appeared in front of everyone with his "girlfriend", she finally gave up.
She's got a new boyfriend, even if she's detached.
She also has a doll, a teddy bear. Just in the corner of the desk.
Because of the joke, other colleagues ruthlessly "hanged" the teddy bear, and were unwilling to untie the "rope" for it.
she cried. in the lounge.
Not because the teddy bear was "hanged", but because of lovelorn. Not even a reason to break up.
In fact, not in love, just because of loneliness.
He untied her teddy bear and gave artificial respiration.
They go bowling together because his "girlfriend" has been elected to a parent committee by a school.
He said he couldn't betray his "girlfriend", no.
It was the first time he took the initiative to stretch out his hand on a snowy night that was still warm and cold. There are no thick gloves.
The two hands were clasped together, and then released a little bit...
His "girlfriend" suddenly lost consciousness one quiet morning.
In the hospital, doctors "rescue" it.
The family doctor said that he chose all of this himself, from the serious condition of his "girlfriend" to the moment when he was about to "die".
Yes, there is nothing the hospital can do about it. The only thing that can be done is to tolerate his "nonsense", and cooperate with the complete "performance" of this scene.
This morning, the snow and ice on the roof melted, and the moist air and melted snow dripped on his face.
By the lake, he kissed his "girlfriend" one last time in tears. Also the first kiss.
The town held a funeral for this special life.
He stood by the grave for a long time.
She walked silently and stopped beside him.
"Maybe we should leave with everyone."
"Want to go for a walk?"
"Well, of course."
