Family Feuds

A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian

It has been two years since Ludmilla passed away. Her husband, an 84-year-old engineer and intellectual has fallen in love with a 36-year-old Ukrainian blond bombshell whom he wants to marry! Nikolai tries to sell his daughters Nadia and Vera on the story that he in trying to help Valentina and her son Stanislav escape the horrors of their country of birth and permanently relocate to the UK, the land of freedom and opportunity. It becomes painfully apparent to the middle-aged sisters that Valentina is using Nikolai for his meagre possessions of which there will be little left if she continues to get her way. Nikolai is weak and easily controlled by his Venus. Can his daughters save him before he is broken, literally and figuratively, by this she-devil?

What would you do if you were faced with a similar circumstance? Would you intervene?

If I felt that my family member was taken advantage of by the person in question, I would definitely make every effort to intervene.
