The fact is that all theatrical actors are endlessly asked the question: what do you like more - to play in the cinema or in the theater? And we don't know what to say. We just play and that's it. Where it happens is irrelevant. And the main connoisseur is the viewer. The viewer comes with his own expectations: someone to cry, someone to laugh. We are well aware that love can be blind. But if it does not exist at all, then all our efforts are devoid of any meaning. Thanks to everyone who came up with and implemented this project. This award is a sign of great respect for those who buy tickets and come to the hall every day.”
