Such a great movie, it was heart-warming.
natalicious:
I have such mixed feelings… sadness, excitement, joy and delight all at the same time. Thank you to the editors who gave Vasiliy the opportunity to see a different life, and who gave us the pleasure of his journey!

They could have taken Vasya [Note: Nickname for Vasiliy] to somewhere like Louisiana or Missouri, but no fucking way, straight to New York!
