I agree with every single word you said! Normal stuff, not so much sophisticated modeling stuff or friends!
Walking around the apartment, stairs, THAT is gold!
I must say the idea with the paper on which Alena stands seemed strange to me at first, until I realized, it is to make the swish and clash sounda of her floor length hair audible, which can be pretty nice, too!
I, in general, want to see the super long haired ladies only, not so much the knee or less length haired ladies, no matter how beautiful they might be to somebody's eye..
And: The length has to be visible at all times, I couldn't agree more
