An Ounce of Life
Directed by Elena Elagina
Alyona is a former artist, but now she is a wife and mother. She lives in a large, stylish apartment, but her world is shrinking every day, and she feels that she is losing herself under a pile of household chores and in the iron grip of Slava's husband, a successful lawyer. She sees salvation in returning to painting, but this act destroys the balance in the marriage. She faces a difficult choice.: how to save yourself, find your own voice and at the same time not destroy your family.
