Emmanuel Vitorgan appeared at the opening with his wife Irina. According to the script, they had to perform a musical number together. But at the last moment the actor left, leaving his wife in the hall and singing instead of dancing.
– The more there are different films, the more we will understand that we live for each other. The deepest gratitude to this city, “Vitorgan said.
Together with his wife he was sitting on the front row. During the ceremony, Irina several times suggested that him would make a selfie. Why does she have so many identical selfies – many viewers in the hall at first would not understand. Then they saw that she uses the front camera as a mirror, and her husband as an excuse for a photo.
