A beautiful fairy tale for children and Parisian love stories: good movies are waiting for their audience
Free movie screenings have long become a good tradition of the RUSSIA EXPO. This weekend, guests can choose a movie for every taste: from fantasy and anime to short films about Paris by famous directors.
The protagonist, 13-year-old Maria, is orphaned and forced to move in with Sir Benjamin, her eccentric uncle whom she has never heard of before. The girl arrives at his mysterious estate, Moonacre Valley, and finds herself in a world divided by an ancient feud. But it is up to Maria — the last Moon Princess — to overcome family pride and uncover the secrets of the past before the moon rises for the five thousandth time and Moonacre Valley is swallowed by the sea. A beautiful tale with wonderful acting.
