< AGAFYA AND SONECHKA>
Sonya is an orphan abandoned by her parents. Born with a serious illness, she cannot walk. Kind woman Natasha takes her away from the orphanage and does everything to get the girl back on her feet. One day Sonya learns about Old Believer Agafya Lykova and says she wants to meet her. Brining the disabled child through taiga forest along difficult terrain not every adult can walk is a great challenge, but such is the beginning of this story of love, faith and empathy.
