The main characters are: Ruzan Witt (Mesropyan) and Ashot Adamyan, Ara Sargsyan, Christina Adaminyan , Anna Gevorgyan.“Taking to consideration the preparatory works, I must say that the film was shot two and a half years ago, the idea was born by a small incident. A couple of years ago I was walking down the street, putting my hand on my chest. I saw many prostitutes, they came up to me. One of them looked at me and said, "Well, how can my heart survive in this life?", - mentioned A.Amirbekyan. Film is independent from all the studios and mostly is shot in his own funds. It will be shown during various festivals, then will be rented.The film's mainheroine, the actress Ruzan Witt says that after ten years of silence, with great difficulty she agreed to star in soup opera, as always, in principle had rejected such proposals."It turned out that my 33th anniversary and the premiere of "Priestess " were at the same time, which was a great happiness for me,because five years I was acting in Paris and I had only one premiere in two years. ",- said Witt, adding that after returning home she seems to emerge in the shadows.The actress said that she accepted the proposal of A.Amirbekyan to star in “Mariam’s One Sunday”, just because of current situation.Speaking about theessence and artistic value of the film R.Witt said: “"In art, there is the following phrase:" It doesn’t matter what you do, it’s important how you do it", hence, modestly, I must say that our film has been received that "how" , because we were able to approach the "how" understanding. "How" is to feel, you cannot say it in words, so we invite you all to see and appreciate the film. "In her words, despite the fact that she is much older from her embodied character, she managed to make the audience not to feel the difference.In her opinion,she managed to play the role of prostitute for the simple reason.As a  woman she always felt very sorry about that fact.Witt is sure thatit is the responsibilityof every artist to respond to the prostitution, thus trying to save the crippled destinies.
