A lesson in life
21 June 2015
Young single mother Inna has a very good relationship with her 5-year old son Mitya, full of love and laughter. Things take a turn for the worse when she starts experimenting odd medical symptoms and soon afterward learns that she has little time left to live. Rather than becoming sulky and depressed because of the debilitating disease and growing pain that quickly isolate her from the world around her, Inna goes in search of foster parents for her son, while continuing laughing whenever she has a chance.

A truly moving story of generosity, love and courage.

Do not be put off by the sad subject. The film director, the script, and the wonderful acting by everyone, from the main to the secondary characters, get everything right. Nothing overwhelming, nothing fake or overly dramatic, just light touches that convey what the experience is like in a truthful and caring manner.

A massive achievement with a difficult subject. Big bow and thanks to all involved.
