On the penultimate day of winter, a social audience gathered at the capital’s Oktyabr cinema to be the first to experience the film experiment by screenwriter Daria Gratsevich and director Ivan Kitaev, who have undertaken the transformation of the popular meditation book “Tenderly to Myself” into a full-fledged story for the big screen. The work was introduced on stage by the leading actors—Karina Razumovskaya, Olga Medynich, Lyudmila Artemyeva, Leonid Bichevin, and others. Also featured was singer Mari Kraimbrery, whose song “I Like to Live” became the film’s official soundtrack and the guiding theme throughout the story.

Thank you so much for taking a look at my song! I’ve always dreamed of writing a film soundtrack. Cinema and show business are two completely different spheres, but I really want to join you!, Marie admitted.

As guests, colleagues were supported by Maryana Spivak, Nika Zhukova, Dmitry Chebotarev with his wife Lisa Klimova, Sofia Lebedeva, Vlada Lukina, Masha Koshman, Anna Zavtur, Anna Yeshchenko and others.
