Screen Star

«Screen Star» — a modern legal thriller about parental ambitions, the children's film industry, and the cost of wanting to make a child famous. Tatiana Ustinova combines a family story with a court case: while the mother seeks a path to filming for five-year-old Nastya, her sister, judge Elena Kuznetsova, faces a case involving a famous film producer. Behind the promises of fame, a prestigious film school, and discussions about future roles, questions of trust, adult responsibility, and the protection of the child's interests arise.

She learns how much child actors earn and decides to turn Nastya into a star. The most accessible step seems to be the film school of Yulika Klipman — a producer with a reputation as a future genius. Meanwhile, Elena Kuznetsova accepts an investor's lawsuit for production: Klipman received a large sum for a film, but the shooting has not yet begun. The family's private hopes and the court's work intersect when questions about money, fulfilled promises, and misplaced trust arise behind the producer's loud name.
