I had to turn on the imagination, because Cheburashka was not in the frame. It was played without me : for example, how Gena takes Cheburashka in her arms, scratches him behind the ear. To bring Cheburashka back to life, facial expressions, gaze, posture, gestures were important! It was not an easy experience, but very interesting and unforgettable, “says the actress. .
