"Fro" is one of the most famous stories by Andrey Platonov, which, moreover, the Russian theatres most often turn to.
She says she loves him, but she only loves her feelings. He says that he loves her, but he loves all of humanity, which means no one. There is a third one who doesn't say anything and just quietly loves his job and his daughter. And all around there are people, locomotives, rails, rails going into the distance.

Maybe because there is no general happiness ...
