Director’s statement
I assembled a great creative team of filmmakers in Samara, the city where I was born and raised. This film is about the connection of generations, about our grandparents. I would like people of different generations to learn to find a common language, understand each other and appreciate every moment of time.
I dedicated my film to my grandmother Lyudmila Alexandrovna Lukova and shot it with all the tenderness and warmth that still burns inside me.
