A confession by two friends who came to the “Give Life” foundation in different ways. The novel “Time to Break the Ice” was born from conversations between the actress Chulpan Khamatova and her friend, journalist and film documentary maker Katerina Gordeeva. Katya asks, Chulpan answers. Sometimes the other way around.
What was television like in the nineties—when did it end and why? What did the theater of the early two-thousands breathe, and why did it become dangerous ten years later? But above all: how did it happen that two friends—Chulpan and Katya—came to the “Give Life” foundation through completely different paths? And why do they consider this cause the most important today—something akin to chipping ice in a constantly freezing country?
