By My Side is a poetic meditation on our inability to notice the most important thing in live: love. It is an exploration of our tendency to hide from love and bar it from our lives; to unknowingly push it away, bewildered by our own feelings, even when it appears in the guise of a regular, flesh-and- blood woman. And yet, it always comes back...
Vasily Sigarev about the film: "After the well-known events, my mother suddenly decided that now I can finally go to Crimea. She sincerely believed that it was impossible to get there earlier. As a result, it had to be urgently evacuated to Moscow, as it turned out that they did not take cards anywhere. And she, spit on a good tradition to carry money, sewing in panties, went, like a white man, with a card. Actually, all that she had time to do was go on some crazy excursion, where they were constantly filmed on the camera, then to sell the discs. From this disk and mounted a movie. I laughed so much when I watched that I decided to do something of this".
