“Stay a moment, breathe, and make your life more meaningful by listening to the music before going back to ordinary” is the main message of the movie Stay. Film story adds to this famous Latin quote that
“nowadays the time and people are not only changing but are changing fast“. Running pace of life could only be stretched by music.

«Stay» is a story about violinist who plays at one of the crowded railway stations. He wants, as many of us, to remain human at the difficult circumstances that we all live. The violinist wants to have the ability to communicate systematically with the world via his music, symbols, body gestures, and facial expressions.

"The musical plan of the movie “Stay” - change to a "a music idea" of music and effects that immerse the viewer in the state of the film. Of course, this movie should be listened to more than watched."
