Cold coffee / Холодна кава – A Ukrainian woman and a Spanish man. From love to breakup

Beneath the sun-drenched facade of Spanish life, family ties don’t just run deep—they frequently overrun personal boundaries, turning what seemed like a dream partnership into a crowded house where three was always a crowd.
