synopsis
Pavel Ruminov's I'll Be Around is the deeply moving story of a single mother's struggle to secure a future for her son. The life of a young and successful restaurant manager, Inna, comes suddenly and unexpectedly crumbling down around her when she is diagnosed with an incurable illness.
Though loved and respected by her colleagues, Inna’s inevitable death will be felt most greatly by her son Mitya. Determined not to leave him an orphan, Inna seeks new parents for six-year-old Mitya. This endearing, yet tragic story of friendship between mother and son shows how love can overcome mortality. In the face of their last farewell, Inna and Mitya must find a way to overcome the injustice that fate has so abruptly and prematurely thrown their way.
