I was born and brought up in Moscow by my mother and grandmother. Women's education has largely determined my creative path and views. I like to talk about women, their dreams, fears, problems and make it in a playful way. I started my career as a Director by shooting fashion backstages. Soon I was attracted to other forms and started making music videos, advertising and now films. My subject is love and the relationship between a man and a woman. In my work, I try to study it from different angles and answer the main question "One Love for one life or we can love many times?
