    Good film

    The story about Alena touches the depths of the soul. Her talent, kindness and sense of humor make her a bright personality, and her inner experiences are a realistic reflection of the choice between a dream and safety. It seems to me that her story is a good reminder of how important it is to listen to your heart and be honest with yourself. Alena, despite her doubts, did not leave the theater, and this is admirable. I hope that one day she will find something that will make her truly happy and realize her potential. What fate awaits her is a mystery, but she is already a real heroine of her life.

    It is normal

    Alena's story is inspiring and makes you think about the importance of following your dream despite your fears and doubts. Her example shows that choice often keeps us captive to the fear of the unknown and responsibility. But this is the path to self-knowledge and inner harmony. Alena is a living illustration of the fact that you should not be afraid of mistakes, because they help you understand yourself better. Her courage to continue playing in the theater and studying is an example for everyone who is looking for their path. I hope her story will inspire others not to give up and follow their dream, no matter what.

    Most importantly

    The film is quite multifaceted, all three sides of our heroine Alena are developed here. The first is, of course, the theater, which is an integral part of life. She wanted to become an actress, but because of the fear of failure she did not enter and instead she is now studying at the Technical University. The second part is her family, of course, eh, which always supports her and is always next to her and is always ready to accept any of her decisions, but also the third side. This is, of course, the institute and her personal. So to say, the place of power is the street, which is shown quite, capaciously enough accurately and which gives a complete understanding. To us, what kind of person is this, that a person who thinks, that this is an important person and And most importantly, there is a looped composition here. That is, First we started with a walk and ended the film with it, it left absolutely positive emotions.

    Best wishes!

    My opinion of Alena is very positive. Her story is a reminder of our inner fears and how important it is to overcome them. It seems to me that her choice to go to a technical university is a manifestation of common sense, and her desire to become an actress is a real heart. She continues to fight for her dreams, which inspires respect. Perhaps the right path is to combine both worlds: professional skills and creative fulfillment. In any case, Alena is a shining example of how even after mistakes and doubts, life can become rich and interesting if you do not stop believing in yourself. This film prompted me to delve deeper into the properties of my own worldview and my attitude towards the world around me.

    Perfect!

    An absolutely amazing film, giving food for thought to the younger generation, it combines amazing camera work, and at the same time a relevant plot, exciting everyone on this planet. This work is not just about a person who cannot find himself, it is about a person who once made a mistake and now perhaps regrets it, but he tries to keep himself in check, keep himself in hand and mentally say that he did the right thing. At the same time, not even suspecting that, perhaps, he betrayed his dream. This film managed to reveal three qualities of our heroine at once. Perhaps these cannot be called qualities. These are rather her three. Paths. Her three elements.
