You have no idea how much you influence

The film touched my soul from the first minutes, starting with the song about the clock. Next, I liked the humor throughout the film. And the funny situation itself about Alevtina's success on YouTube did not leave me indifferent.

The way the movie characters express their emotions, demonstrate their character traits, the greater connection with reality - all this made an impression.

I liked that the heroine still followed the path of her heart and her colleagues supported her, and did not "scatter" with envy.

I liked the emphasis on the dramatic change in her appearance, she became very feminine, thanks to makeup, a beautiful dress and shoes, which revealed a completely different side of her, and people and even animals looked at her completely differently. And perhaps, thanks to this new energy of hers, she achieved good luck and success, because a person's image greatly influences fate. Sometimes talent in something does not have such a colossal effect and not so quickly, so it is not in vain that Maria Star also paid attention to this area.

The new image is one side, the other side is the qualities of the soul that Alevtina demonstrated. She has shown herself to be very humane, someone who keeps her word and her values as a good person. You might think that she did this out of gratitude to her teacher or out of a sense of duty, but in reality, people who have achieved a great position generally tend to forget both their teachers and the friends who were nearby. Therefore, I think there is genuine humanity shown in the film on her part. After all, it was easy to leave, forget everything and "burn bridges." New life, new job, new people, show business.

But it was so important for her to reach Maria that she was not afraid to lose her finest hour and appear in an unfavorable light in front of the whole world. And perhaps it was her humane qualities that helped her complete her debut with dignity.

As for Maria Star, here the character is dual, multifaceted, unpredictable, capable of anything, but she also sincerely wanted to help Alevtina fulfill her dream, and this brought them closer. Maria's heart couldn't stand such an attitude towards herself, she was simply not used to someone treating her like that with his soul, she went into another room, but then it's not clear whether she shot herself, or whether it was the guard who was attacked then they put handcuffs on.

I understood this film as a film about the importance of one's purpose and that there are always and everywhere people around us who can influence our lives in the most extraordinary way and change it. You just need to say "yes" and make a couple of touches to change your image.

The second role was the main!

Very emotional movie. Not too deep characters but still good played. The biography of the real prison actress is very interesting and maybe that is the reason for this very good performence. It was a pleasure to watch this movie.
