The film was produced by the film company Catharsis. Choosing a studio-producer also has deep meaning. The name Catharsis has roots in the ancient era and symbolizes the spiritual and moral purification of the soul through the experience of suffering.

Very good and soulful film. I watched with my husband, mom and dad, two friends and my two children. And we all agreed that this almanac is better served emotional - a story from Leonid Panteleev "Honest Word":
“I looked at his little freckled nose and thought he really had nothing to fear. A boy who has such a strong will and such a strong word will not be afraid of the dark, will not be afraid of hooligans, will not be afraid of more terrible things. And when he grows up, It is not yet known who he will be when he grows up, but whoever he is, you can guarantee that he will be a real person.
Be sure to watch with the children. At many touching moments we cried. All the actors are super. In one key of goodness and moral purity. I recommend it. 👌
