the movie Free Willy (1993)‚ which is about the relationship between a boy and a young Orca whale. It is one of my favorite movies because I watched it many times (along with the rest of the franchise) when I was younger‚ as my sister had an odd obsession with killer whales.

If you have the baby boomer population all aging at the same time and a low birthrate‚ this can negatively affect Europe and Russia socially
