On Thursday, October 22nd, the film "Doctor Lisa" will be released on the screens of Russian cinemas.
This feature film is based on real events from the life of the doctor, public figure and philanthropist Elizaveta Glinka.
Before the tragic death of December 25, 2016, Dr. Lisa repeatedly came to the attention of filmmakers.
Several documentaries have been made about her and her Fair Aid Foundation.
For the new tape, many real facts from the life of Glinka were collected.
Some of them can be found in a book that was published posthumously based on materials from the philanthropist's blog and interviews with her.
The director and co-writer of the script Oksana Karas notes that the overwhelming majority of the heroes of the film "Doctor Lisa" were really present in Glinka's life.
She met them at different times in different cities - Moscow, Kiev and others.
Nevertheless, the action of the tape takes place on one specific day in April 2012: in the morning, when Doctor Lisa, performed by Chulpan Khamatova, leaves for the office of the foundation.
The story ends late in the evening.
The heroine will have two important events - the celebration of the 30th wedding anniversary, as well as a guardianship visit for the teenager, whom Glinka recently took into her family.
At work, you just need to take sick homeless people at the Paveletsky railway station.
However, the day quickly fills with unplanned activities.
It seems that Doctor Lisa has time to solve dozens of problems, saying: "I will do everything, I will have time for everything."

The main storyline of the film is built around helping the terminally ill girl Eve.
The child was prescribed morphine - because of oncology, she suffers from severe pain.
The parents cannot get the painkillers prescribed by the doctor - there is no one in the pharmacies - and in despair they turn to Doctor Lisa.
The heroine has to break the law: she steals the drug from a doctor she knows (Konstantin Khabensky).
The loss is reported to the Federal Drug Control Service.
The investigation is entrusted to Major Sergei Kolesov (Andrei Burkovsky).
The Major's day, however, is not going according to plan either.
Dr. Lisa allegedly ignores the threat of imprisonment and asks Burkovsky's hero to visit one or the other of the ward.
Her equanimity melts the hearts of a person when performed, which at first seems to the viewer callous and cynical.
At the same time, Glinka uses her diplomatic talent only for the sake of others.
Observing how selflessly and selflessly Doctor Lisa helps others, Kolesov begins to change.
In reality, there was no such situation in the life of Elizaveta Glinka.
But this artistic assumption allows us to show how her example inspired others and allowed them to become better.
The filmmakers demonstrated the scale of the heroine's personality simply and elegantly: there are no minor problems and inappropriate actions for her.
Glinka will do her best to get morphine.
At the same time, Doctor Liza will not forget to ask the official for a diploma "for the fight against world evil" for a simple laborer of "Fair Aid" - always signed and stamped, in person.

Elizaveta Glinka treats any person with respect.
She looks worthy at a charity auction among wealthy people, does not distance herself from the homeless, speaks strictly with those who are trying to completely derail their lives.
Dr. Lisa communicates with everyone on an equal footing and always in a language understandable to the interlocutor.
At the same time, not everyone understands why Dr. Lisa is trying to help anyone who turns to her.
There are both critics and ungrateful ones (for example, donated clothes are not to everyone's taste).
In general, the tape is reliable.
The real apartment of Doctor Lisa even appears in the frame - this solution was proposed to the filmmakers by the widower Gleb Glinka.
There is not much musical accompaniment in the film, but all the sounds are very expressive: both the screams of a girl who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and the soothing voice of Doctor Lisa.
The impression is also made by the complete silence at the moment when Glinka realizes that Dr. Shevkunov is not ready to break the law in order to help the child.
The absence of sound conveys the tragic denouement of the conflict, the collapse of the heroine's hopes and her inner feelings.
Here's what is important: Glinka takes on the innumerable problems of others, finds the strength to treat troubles with irony, and this mood is transmitted to the audience.
