Friends, subscribe to my Telegram channel. We will discuss the film: https://t.me/+6xuMgA4vi3NiOTUy. The story of a girl named Nastya touched me deeply. Usually, I shoot stories where parents, already adults with established positions, explain their actions. How they decided to adopt, what difficulties they faced, and how they see a way out of a complicated situation. For some reason, in our society, adults are believed more than children. Children often cannot express what they think, especially since the parents' position is dominant, and it’s scary to speak the truth in front of them…
This film shows the other side of the coin. The story is told by a girl who lived in an orphanage from the age of 8. Now she is 22 years old. At this age, few people share their experiences. However, Nastya wanted to share her life.
At 8 years old, she and her brother were taken from their family; their mother was an alcoholic and couldn't support her children. She always stayed in touch with Nastya, even in the orphanage. But she never managed to regain her parental rights.
Nastya shares in detail what life was like in the orphanage. It truly horrifies you to see what goes on behind those institutional walls. It was very difficult for them to be placed in a foster family.
However, her second foster mother abused her and took them in for selfish reasons. She wanted to marry the children's father, who was about to be released from prison. The plan failed, and the children became unwanted. Eventually, they struggled to escape from that family.
The third foster family longed for infants because they had no children of their own. But one day, they received a call from the guardianship office asking them to take Nastya and Vanya. They didn't want to take older children, but they felt it was fate... So they stayed there. The parents were farmers living in a small village. However, they did not stop with just Nastya and Vanya; soon, five more children arrived. Nastya remembers spending a lot of time with the kids, and she always felt like she was loved less than anyone else.
Nastya waited a long time for love from various mothers but found it only with her beloved. Recently, she married a very good guy.
At her wedding, Nastya had two mothers: her biological mother and her foster mother. They celebrated, sang, and danced. Make sure to watch this story about the real, unembellished life of a child.
