BIC Classification: FC; FYT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 196 x 133 x 18. Weight in Grams: 250.

However, a chance encounter with his old flame, the manipulative Irina - now married to a general and a prominent figure in aristocratic expatriate circles - unearths feelings buried deep inside the young man's heart, derailing his plans for the future and throwing his life into turmoil.
