Romain Gary
Translation from French by Violeta Tauragienė
All the life of a famous writer and diplomat Romain Gary, his mother was always beside him: from birth to becoming a man, a war hero, and a winner of Prix Goncourt prize. She gave her only son unconditional love and hopes. “You will be a great artist, Romushka!” – the mother predicted and encouraged all his talents. The trip of two close people to Paris, goodbyes, and meetings in letters are shown in the play while the motors of the planes of World War II are roaring in the background.
