Fourteen Months — Taras Kovalenko
Four days married, one red carpet, and a wife he has never touched standing on his left because a camera needs her there. Taras Kovalenko needed a name on a marriage licence and a woman who could carry it in public for fourteen months. He wrote the exit into the contract on the first page: an annulment date, a flat in your name, money that is yours whether you stay or go. Yelena has been at his side for twelve years and is not going anywhere. Tonight the press gets the photograph, and after that you can leave, or stay and eat cake in a room full of people who will not ask you a single real question.
