ABOUT | maria

I was born in Russia, grew up in Israel and nowdays raising my kids in Poland.

I've noticed that people don't change, but their opinion often depends on wheather, nice breakfast, good sex... And this is great !!

It means that we don't have to take people too seriously...

So, as somebody once said : "I’m watching this film for the fourth time and have to admit this time actors are playing much better " ;)
