"Codependency is a terrible thing that replaces love. When there is a drug addict or an alcoholic in a family and the family begins to adapt to his lifestyle, they begin to live like him, thus involuntarily maintaining his illness. They watch him, save him from all sorts of troubles, and thus avoid worrying, but this prevents the situation from changing. Then drugs and alcoholism become incurable diseases. That is why it is very important for the family to get rid of this codependency. It is a terrible thing. It is like a cancerous tumor on love." Ekaterina Savina is a psychologist, director of the center "Le Zebre". The film is based on the memories of some mothers whose relatives found themselves in the misfortune called "drugs". These courageous women talk about their struggle with their children's illness and their struggle with their own illness, "codependency" without being afraid to show their faces to the audience. Indeed, their experience can help other mothers who find themselves in a similar situation and do not know how and where to get help.
