The painting "Clay - love" is the life story of the sculptor Bolat and his wife, the singer. In the nineties, along with perestroika, famine, economic and cultural crisis came to the country. Against the background of this devastation, the heroes are overtaken by a creative crisis, which, alas, the singer could not withstand. Having given free rein to madness, a woman finds solace in another man. But the wisdom and love of the spouses helps them to keep the family together.
