“My Friend Finnick” is a story of a young spirit of the house named Finnick, who is unlucky, very kind and extremely curious. He becomes visible to humans by accident. He makes friends with a 10-year-old girls Kristen, who has recently moved into his house with her family and feels out of place. Soon all the family falls in love with Finnick and treats him like a family member.

“The most thrilling thing in this project is that we are creating and showing to the audience a world, which exists alongside our reality, our routine life, but which is invisible to us.  This is a fairytale, which unfolds in our world.  To develop this world and to show the creatures, which we have heard so much about, but have never actually seen, although they live side by side with us, is the most exciting thing for me in this project and that's what makes it unusual”, comments Denis Chernov.
