Details

Also called Vassa Zheleznova and Mother Vheleznova. A family is destroyed by sticking to its values despite, or because of, the matriach at its head. There are no miracles in this world. Only those we make for ourselves. It's 8am and a revolt is underway. The father is dying. The son is spying. The wife is cheating. The uncle is stealing. The mother is scheming. The dynasty is crumbling. One house. One fortune. One victor.
