“Roof” not only for children but also for the grown ups”

Boris Grachevski, director, and the art director of children’s “Yeralash” film journal so famous to the children and grown ups presented to the Armenian audience his new film called “Roof”. The presentation was held in the “Moscow” cinema in Yerevan, with full halls.

The film is being represented in the frameworks of the 5th international festival of Youth films. The Festival this year represents 51 films from 23 countries.

The film is about 3 teenaged girls the parents who are awfully busy with their problems and almost do not notice what’s going on with their children. The mother of one of the girls is thinking only about her own career and wants to get power. The second one is so much dedicated to her own passion that is even ready to leave her family. The third one is busy with earning money day and night and almost doesn’t see her daughter.

The film is telling how these girls having need of warmth and love fell in love with the same guy. It describes how the teenagers think, what are they interested in what they dream about. And so one day the girls find themselves on the edge of the roof…

By the words of the film director B. Grachevski the film is aimed at prompting the grown ups that they should make a step forward to their children and vice versa, as long the parents live with the life of their children as long they do not be surprised suddenly. On the presentation of the film was not only present the director but also the main actor Artyom Artemev who is known to the audience through Russian soap operas. He says he is lucky to be shot in this film where there is something to play, and where you can really play feelings and relations, love and jealousy… B. Grachevski also confessed that the subject interests and touches him. He mentioned that the film he has shot not only for the children but also for the protection of the grown ups.
