Attention! The file is not scanned, but collected from electronic publications! There is no preface. The works included in this collection are united by the theme of cinema. The theme of the amazing world of “the most important of modern arts” - a world into which you find yourself once and in which you remain forever. The “life and customs” of filmmakers, under the amazing pen of Tokareva, take on a new life - and turn into a genuine kaleidoscope of stories - funny, sad, lyrical... These are the stories “A Little Bit About Cinema”, “My Master”, “One of Us” and the play “Well and let them.” The collection also includes scripts by Victoria Tokareva - “Instead of Me,” “A Dog Walked on the Piano” and, of course, the legendary “Gentlemen of Fortune.”
