I love the contrast between the memories, the present day scenes and Sam's thoughts! He was still insecure back then with Lina, always wondering what she saw in him and worrying that it might be over at any moment. That's why he made up a different name for himself, not really because he wanted to climb the social ladder because he wanted to blend in. I love Lina's character, how she constantly tries to assure him that there's no need for all that, that he should be himself, even when he doesn't believe her... I wonder how and why they broke up.
Sam is here far from that confident guy who wants to shine that we saw until now. He's already grown, but at the same time he's pessimistic because he's going through some dark times. He still needs to find balance. Perhaps Lina will help him?
This is an alternative universe (AU) retelling of Sam Abramov's story.
Read his canon story, "Sam in New York," here: https://www.tapas.io/series/sam-in-new-york
--
Sam Abramov's childhood dream was to become an actor. Now a 25 year old law school graduate barely making ends meet as a legal assistant, Sam has long laid to rest his dream of making it big as an actor. He is no longer sure of his future and feels increasingly anxious about his career.
However, his life will soon radically change in more ways than one...!
