Also a trained stage actor.
[on his character in The Search (2014/III) ] Kolia is an ordinary,boy who falls into the hell of war. For me, the best way to define him,is to invert the popular metaphor: Kolia is not a caterpillar turning,into a butterfly but a butterfly that turns into a caterpillar. That is,the effect war has on him. At the beginning Kolia is like a flying,butterfly, he knows how to be happy at any moment, every day. By the,end he is the opposite, incapable of any true happiness, crawling like,a caterpillar. .
