Dear Heidemarie,
I can’t forget your words you said when I saw you for the last time.
“My dream… When I retire I will come to Russia and go across it by train. By Trans-Siberian railway. From Western to Eastern part of Russia.”
You could not do it, because of terrorist attack in Domodedovo in 2011.
But I have found how we could make your dream come true.
We named the leading car of 2012 automobile run that started from St. Petersburg ‘Heidemarie Wallner’. You passed Moscow and 20 other Russian cities Kazan, Osa, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, etc.. You reached the lake of Baikal.
You leaded us day and night. Drove us through the obstacles and moved us forward, as usual, to the eastern part of Russia - Vladivostok.
While making your dream come true I got closer to mine. I finally got a Director’s role.
I did not forget your lessons. I’m still learning from you a lot.
Thank you Heidemarie. Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Andrey Kim
Director and filmmaker.
