Soul Family

MSoul Family 🌟

When I was just nine, my mom introduced me to N.I. Lomanova for math lessons. She forever changed my life. I stumbled upon a soul family – Nelly Ivanovna Lomanova became my mentor and soul mother, while her daughter Alyona became my soul sister. Within this haven, my love for classical music flourished, thanks to my mentor. I devoured books from their vast library, and my passion for fine arts was kindled by their picture collection. Yet, the greatest gift? But more important I opened awareness.

Cinema 🎬

N.I. Lomanova worked at a military movie base – a place that ignited my curiosity. Amid towering film reels, I wandered, yearning to explore every story. Screenings for soldiers and officers unfolded outdoors and in pavilions, and I eagerly joined in, watching movie after movie with them. Kids were not there – these weren't cartoons. And in those moments, a dream took shape. Questions arose: How did film become screen magic? I thirsted for knowledge, an innate desire to create movies. I began inviting kids to plays, staging outdoor performances with "movie-like" roles. Slowly, life transformed into an endless film.

Memories 📽

Classical music, art, the library's embrace, and the cinematic world... these memories with my soul family are treasures. Gratitude fills me as I reflect on the chapters they etched into my life's journey.
