Conditional 60s in a conditional country in a constructed fairy-tale world. In the old house on different floors live: Officer, Journalist and Composer. Their life is full of lies to each other and to ourselves. They have a neighbor - an unusual boy nicknamed "Whistler." He perceives the world through music and expresses his attitude towards a life of wondrous beauty by whistling. The only thing he wants is to make friends. But the neighbors do not notice the boy and his music. With this inattention, they build their fate, not suspecting what a “boomerang” it could return ...
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:

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.
