Director’s statement
This film is the final program and essential extract of my observations of the family. The protagonist - Eugenia (Zhenya) - is basically me. I basically spent my entire life trying to understand why don’t adults want to be happy. After all, happiness is so simple and so close. I wanted to show the most recognizable relationships that one finds in society. The family is actually the true protagonist of the film; the family is the dearest thing a person can have in this world. I don’t mean to sound moralistic. I merely wanted to make a watercolor sketch of my life experience.
