Ruslan
Ruslan is the soul and, ofcourse, the owner of his small cafe/bakery. This place of warmth and nostalgic smell of homemade buns amidst the cold, towering cityscape. A culinary artist and skilled pastry chef, his curly hair and big moustaches are as iconic as his decadent desserts for ones who really knows about good food. But beneath his serene exterior lies a man carrying a deep, unspoken sadness. The bakery, stands defiant on land destined for corporate expansion. Though it barely breaks even, Ruslan’s unwavering dedication anchors him there. A rubber band on his left wrist, a simple yet poignant symbol, reminds him daily of his strength and self-control, even in the face of life’s trials.
