Almost immediately the director began to sexually harass me. It was terrible, because on the territory of the shooting pavilion his voice and desire is a law that everyone must obey. If you do not do this, it means your life, your career turns into dust and nothing else means anything. Despite all this, I found the strength to say "No" to him. The response from him to my actions for a long time did not linger, and he spread about me information that set up the entire crew and cast members against me. He was able to create an illusion, thanks to which they pointed at me with their fingers and said that it's very difficult to work with me. When work on the tape was completed, I sighed with relief, but this situation did not go out of my mind for a long time. "

However, due to the fact that I never had any ambitions in terms of acting, I was able to forget all this nightmare for several years. However, as the future showed, this story with me for the director did not pass without a trace. After a while he took a picture revealing the essence of the relationship between the director and the actress on the set. There, the viewer can also see the episode in which sexual harassment occurred. I'm sure that this film was born through acquaintance with me. "
