“For me it is a story of love and of becoming an adult. Of how a strong feeling turns a boy into a man. My character Ignat falls in love with his ex-teacher, and it is difficult for her to love him back because of age disparity, – says Oleg Gaas, the featured actor. – He makes his best to become a real man in Ulyana’s eyes, a supporter. No matter what happens to him, he won’t step back, he keeps struggling for his love. He does not expect no promises, he does not expect her to love him back, he won’t try and buy her into it – his deeds speak for ourselves.”
“Ulyana Sergeyevna took me from the very first script lines! I like her because of how real, and how natural she seems to me, she’s not your dilute positive image, she is a natural girl, the one with an attitude, – says Alina Sergeeva, the featured actress. – The story is highly realistic. You just can’t betray love whenever it is real! As long as a human being possesses that ability of genuine love, loyalty will always walk with him or her alongside. Every other compromised option is mostly a lie to be justified with conditions.”
