The characters, Elena and her daughter Alina came to England from Russia. In London they study at a spiritualist college and can sometimes perform a seance for their friends wanting to communicate with dead relations.

Yulia's experience in London
I think that exchanges such as this are a brilliant idea. Undoubtedly, there are certain difficulties in filming in an unfamiliar place, in a new environment in a limited amount of time. However, it makes you gather all your strength and try to achieve more than usual. I hope that viewers will enjoy the results of my shoot although personally, I am not entirely happy.
