Panopticum
1911. A strange person appears on Long Island. Professor Sardi, a fanatic with the secret past and aura of Dr. Frankenstein, collects a panopticon - an ominous museum to demonstrate to people the miracles of life. And Koralia, accustomed to the difficulties of a girl, becomes such a miracle. Others perform with her: a butterfly girl, a boy from a jungle and a wolf man. The attention of the public and the kindness of new friends like Koel, but once everything changes. A terrible find, a corpse with a sewn blue thread with your mouth, scares it and makes you think. Gradually, Koralia understands: she needs to run away from the professor and start a new life, otherwise it may be too late.

Rachel is a wayward and independent girl who spite her mother for days, reads books in the father of her father and dreams of glamorous Parisian life. But she does not manage her fate: when the father of her father threatens the ruin, Rachel agrees to marry an elderly widow in order to save his family from poverty.
After his death, she decides to connect her life with a mysterious stranger from Europe, Frederick.
He is the exact opposite of the rickets: timid, weaken with health and fascinated by numbers more than romantic adventures, moreover, her father"s nephew. Everything was against them: the dissimilarity of education and temperament, public opinion. And yet their marriage took place.
The son of Racheli and Frederick is known all over the world today. His name is Kamil Pissaro.
Would a great impressionist would be born if one woman had not gone against everyone?
