Genre: The Publicistic Films Director: Nadezhda Pavlova
The film “What for?” is based on my family’s story. Maybe, it is incorrect to shoot a film in such a way. Maybe, the relatives should be a taboo topic for the producer! BUT!!!
This film has such a big force of influence which cannot be achieved from other people’s stories. It is my pain. It is the pain of my main personage – my Mum. It’s the pain of the majority of the Russian women who just don’t know how to appreciate themselves, who just don’t know how fine they are. There are three stories in this film, and they are all intermingled. But each of them expresses one and the same idea - it is not necessary to live with men who break and destroy us and our children!
