Ещё одна сказка о Золушке

What if?.. This question is asked by anyone who wants to make a good movie. What if the tale about Cinderella and the Prince, tale as old as time, will suddenly happen nowadays? Why not? Kids, who are studying at FIGA Film Studio, which exists at "Karavella" camp for 44 years, as well as their teachers, thought about it. They thought and created a film in a short period of time, just for 4 months only. There is no falling of Cinderella's boot here, no folden carriages and no mice turning to horses, but there are Internet and orbital satellites. There are also kids and adults who can do brave voluntary actions and childish pranks. As well as friendship which can do real magic. Based on Vladislav Krapivin's play "What will happen, if?.." (Что будет, если?..)
