Maria Poroshina has a positive acting charm and therefore she is often offered the roles of quiet, unhappy, whiny women. She is trying with all her might to break this stereotype.

In it, Poroshina played an unusual role for her - a tyrant mother. The heroine of the picture realizes herself at the expense of her daughter and forces her to connect life with choreography. This series is very important for Maria Poroshina, because her father worked in the "Birch" ensemble, and the actress acted as a child in her youth.
