Where is the hero going and what is hindering him? (not) A textbook on screenwriting

Alexey Zyuzin, screenwriter, director, and producer, reflects on the structure of screenplays and the peculiarities of the screenwriting craft. With over two decades of work in television and film behind him, the author unexpectedly analyzes the construction of plot lines... and characters using children's fairy tales as examples.
The book is divided into two meaningful parts: the first is an ironic analysis of the mistakes made by those who have already written their screenplay but feel its shortcomings. The second part offers concrete advice to those who are just beginning to write their story.
In this book, the author shares his thoughts in a light manner and in understandable language. With humor and delicacy, dissecting the actions of fairy tale characters, the author shares practical advice, striving to be of help to those embarking on the thorny path of creating their cinematic works.
