Nine-year-old Vovka lives in the glorious city of Vladimir with his father and grandfather. Pavel, a widower, is raising his son alone. Yes, and it’s not he who raises him, to be honest, but his grandfather. Pavel himself plunged into work “without days off,” either in order to drown out loneliness, or so that his son would not need anything. Only for Vova, what is more important is not material well-being, but communication with her father. Running away from after school and wandering around the ancient, wonderful city, every time he sees other boys playing chess, football with their dads, someone discussing going to the theater... And our Vovka came up with the right way to make his dream come true - to his father became a friend to him and gave him the most precious thing - time!

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
