Emerald city citizens

Yura and Nyusha and Liza have met in an orphan home and now are living in an psycho-neurological nursing home. Yura and Nyusha fell in love with each other and Liza is their friend. Nyusha is living in a closed ward that means she can't go outside alone and they can see each other only on general activities arranged by psycho-neurological nursing home or volunteers. It happened that they don't know how to write and read. They absolutely can't use money and their world is completely different from the world of her peers. They don't think about world cataclysm or political revolutions. But they know that once a week they have a bath day and that they should go to sleep at nine o'clock. Life in psycho-neurological nursing home is very monotonous and depends on schedule but they know how to love and to be friends.
