Russian cinema is replenished almost weekly with new films, mini-series and television shows. They are not always in demand among the viewer, but the same cannot be said about the television product of 2006. The film "Happiness with a prescription", whose actors and roles immediately fell in love with the audience, was repeatedly broadcast over the weekend on leading national channels.

Storyline

Of course, the main audience of this four-episode film was the fairer sex. This is not surprising, because the picture tells about love. In addition, the image of the main character is so "mundane" that many women in Russia and neighboring countries could easily draw a parallel with themselves. By the way, the picture became a screen adaptation of the story "Chicken in Flight" by Ekaterina Vilmont.

The actors of the film "Happiness with a prescription" organically combined with their screen images. Perhaps that is why the series is so fond of the audience. The story takes place in several time periods. The main character recalls her childhood, youth,first love. The second storyline takes place in 2005, when the girl has already entered adulthood.

The main character is Ella Yakusheva. She is practically successful, busy at work, she has an “almost” loved one. Ella's every day is so busy that she completely forgot about "herself". Because of this, friends, acquaintances and even work colleagues begin to subtly hint to Yakusheva that it's time to take care of your appearance.

The main character understands that she is completely mired in the hustle and bustle of life and with warm sadness remembers the past days of childhood, when she was a little girl and lived in Odessa with her family. In high school, the ideal family life ended - Ella's mother divorced her father and left with her new husband for Europe, disappearing for many years.

Like any main character, Ella has a very pretty and self-confident best friend, as well as a mother who has been living abroad for a long time. After a long separation, the mother decides to invite her daughter to Prague, where she lives in a luxurious mansion. Ella goes to her mother with the only desire - to please her. After this meeting, her life changes dramatically.

Yakusheva decides to quit law, she accidentally plunges into the world of reality shows and becomes the host of a culinary program. But what about love? Her man is already waiting for her and even loves her, but so far neither Ella nor her future chosen one even know about it.

Director

It's no secret that 50% of the success of any TV product depends on the director's talent. With myDmitry Brusnikin masterfully coped with the task in the film "Happiness by Prescription". The actors of the film fulfilled the rest of the "deal". They got used to the role as much as possible.

By the way, the director himself was so immersed in the process that he turned into one of the main male characters of the film. He played Dmitry Vorontsov, the lover of the main character Ella. In the piggy bank of Brusnikin, this is already the fifth directorial work. Yes, and as an actor, he has long been established, at the dawn of his career, having managed to play in such mega-popular TV series as "Petersburg Secrets", "Squad" and much more.

Main character

Only after reading the script, Brusnikin immediately realized who he wants to try for the role of Ella in the film "Happiness by Prescription". The actors for this role went through the usual casting, but as soon as the director saw Evgenia Dobrovolskaya, it became clear to him that this particular actress would be able to convey the entire range of the heroine's character.

Ella Yakusheva is a successful lawyer, but life has already taught the girl some bitter lessons. Parents' divorce, mother's departure abroad, unhappy first love and even an attempt to commit suicide - this woman managed to endure a lot.

Evgenia Dobrovolskaya very subtly conveyed the spiritual constitution of her heroine. She is naive and determined, a pessimist with hopeful eyes. In addition, she is a wonderful hostess, a beautiful woman who wants to find that one and start a family.

"Happiness by prescription": the actors of the secondplan

Of course, the main storyline of the film tells about the fate of the main character. Evgenia Dobrovolskaya did a titanic work. Nevertheless, it was thanks to the brilliantly selected characters that the film "Happiness by Prescription" received people's love. Actors for key and secondary roles were selected known and loved by the audience.

Ada Rogovtseva, Ekaterina Vasilyeva and Elena Proklova, who played Ella's grandmothers and mother, acted as heavy artillery. Ekaterina Semenova performed the main character's friend, and Irina Apeksimova appeared in the episode as Dmitry Vorontsov's ex-wife.

Male images of the second plan were no less vivid - Igor Bochkin, Vladimir Simonov, Vladimir Dolinsky, Andrey Gradov showed different men who love, suffer, betray and forgive.
