“A collection of stories Have a nice day! Almost a love story I have called it an experience for young people. The first day of school in a new school, the first clashes with authoritative school groups, the first feelings for the most beautiful girl in the class, the first true revelations about true friendship, the first initiation rituals in adult life, and more and more. When we brought these stories to life with the actors, we all started to smile twice as much and be three times less serious. It turns out that adults not only remember these and similar experiences from their lives perfectly, but also remember them with joy and want to stay in them. Probably because the current life, for unknown reasons, has become a little stiffer and therefore more boring. The radio production will delight all those who think fresh. The stories are very cute and warm no worse than this summer’s steam – just emotionally. Let everyone who wants to join listen!
