Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives we may not see the tragedy that can fall upon our closest ones. This story has actually happened in a regular Ukrainian family. Varya is a young 30 year old successful career woman. Despite her living with her mother in the same apartment, they don't talk much to each other because of Varya's often lengthy business trips. Being in the midst of her everlasting issues, Varya usually doesn't have time to listen to her mom. In Varya's absence, the mother was diagnosed with cancer. And only when Varya sees mom without hair, her life priorities fall in place. Actions speak louder than words. In order to support her dear mother, Varya shaves her head.

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.
