So we now stand on the stage, so beautiful, some even look good, that I’m not myself. And I think that it is very good.

And I understand this too late… – said the Director. – Now the film is moderately funny Comedy. It wasn’t planned as a social drama, but I believe that in order for the film look, you need to touch something important.
