The world premiere of the melodrama is set for July 25, 2019. On the same day, Russian viewers will also see the film. It is known that the release of the picture was greatly delayed. It was planned to coincide with the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which took place in Russia, but the film was ready only a year later.
For Evgenia Tanaeva, work on the film is a triple debut. She tried herself as a screenwriter, actress and producer. The idea of creating such a movie also belonged to her. Evgenia worked as a model, and then as an assistant to a very large businessman. Tanaeva is from St. Petersburg, so she decided that in the cinema all events should take place in this city. She and her main character have a lot in common. Evgenia also once worked part-time in a hotel. The film contains many ideas that Tanaeva herself believes. A melodrama about love teaches people not to give up and fight for their own happiness.
When Tanaeva moved to Los Angeles, she promised herself that she would make a beautiful movie. The woman began working on the script back in 2012. At a certain stage, it became clear that it is very difficult to do without the help of professionals. But in Hollywood, nobody knew Tanaev and it was hard to find people who could believe in her.
Plot of the film
The film tells about the love story of an American football star and a single mother from St. Petersburg. On the eve of the 2018 World Cup, the footballer is seriously injured, which jeopardizes his future career. After that, the man goes on a journey that changed not only his life, but also himself.
In St. Petersburg, the main character Ryan meets Lana. Lana has a wonderful son and Ryan finds an approach to him because he really falls in love. According to the scriptwriter, this movie should instill in many women confidence in themselves and that they can become happy. A child is not a hindrance to a relationship. On the contrary, if there are feelings between a man and a woman, a small son or daughter of one of the partners will only help to seal the union.
Viewers can also see how people change. At the beginning of the film, Ryan thinks a lot about his career, about success, expensive things. Lana is focused on the child and material values are not very important to her. Gradually, the main characters change each other a little. Everyone has a rethinking of values.
