Reviews
Dariko Zulaya, KinoPoisk — If you want some sad feels and to dive into the atmosphere of a rainy St. Petersburg, the best choice is to wacth melodrama «The Wires» about the word «Sorry» which was stuck inside the telephone wires.
KinoAfisha — Sisters-animators Marina Moshkova and Tatiana Moshkova presented a short film «The Wires» (2014) as part of the anthology of animated films about St. Petersburg. «The Wires» is a touching lyrical story about one important word – «Sorry» – which was said during the phone call. Travelling along the wires the word «Sorry» fixes the mistakes in the different life situations that it encounters on the way. This very kind and relatable film with the clear message becomes a charming reminder of the important words.
