Helen Takkin
Helen Takkin was born at an interesting time of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, in a country that sang itself free. She has always wanted to tell stories - being it the plays she put on for her family or the poems she wrote or the films she makes now. She feels that defines her. Because she believes that a good story can save one's soul from loneliness at a time of desperation or give one a push to open their eyes and see the bright side of life.
