The husband and wife are connected only by a common life, but also by work in the same university. Within the walls of the university, they try to keep aloof, and show emotions only outside of it. What is happening around is of little interest to the couple, the main things for them are science, personal goals and a joint daughter. The couple does not share the details of their personal life and rarely goes out.
