Giving Joy Away. Olya
Director
The phrase "Children's hospice" causes many to be taken aback. People try to isolate themselves from extraneous problems, to close themselves off from someone else's grief. One day, fate brought Olga, a successful actress in the past, a mother with many children and a happy wife, to one of these hospices. What could have prompted her to give up her career and start giving all her warmth to other people's children? What inner spiritual motives make people become volunteers and is it so easy to take on someone else's pain?

The Town Festival
Director
The small town of Kalyazin on the banks of the Volga is famous for its bell tower rising right out of the water. More than half a century ago, during the construction of the Uglich hydroelectric power station, half of the city was flooded. Quiet sleepy streets that go straight into the river make this place really special. Like a mermaid who has climbed ashore, Kalyazin anxiously breathes the half-heartedness of his earthly fate. But every day bread is baked, children are born, women bend over sewing machines, men work behind the machines, asserting the desperate struggle of life where it seems that everything is meaningless and fleeting. Like a river along which large elegant steamboats sail past the bell tower, saying that somewhere there is a completely different life.
