Mini-series have become an integral part of the domestic film business. Such a product is in demand among the viewer, the question of what to do on Saturday evening was immediately resolved. The other side of the coin is that many Russian directors have put this kind of art on the assembly line, often forgetting about the fascinating plot and selection of characters. In a completely different format, the series "Angel in the Heart" was filmed. The actors of the melodrama are the stars of Russian cinema and young talented graduates of VGIK.

Director

The inspirer and curator of the picture was Elena Nikolaeva, she is a fairly well-known director with experience, she has 16 mini-series on her account, which are popular with the audience. So far, according to critics and viewers, Elena's crowning achievement is the four-episode film "Angel in the Heart". The actors and roles of the series are selected and thought out to the smallest detail. The whole film crew was inspired by the plot, the film turned out to be touching and worthy.

Thanks to an experienced director in the film, the most authentically selectedall the attributes of the Soviet era. Although, as Elena Nikolaeva admitted in her interviews, it is quite difficult to find pieces of furniture, cars, clothes of that period. After all, our generation does not consider it a rarity, it tunes and remakes things of the past historical era.

Storyline

The touching and interesting script attracted such eminent stars as Dmitry Pevtsov and Olga Drozdova to shoot in this film. The storyline covers two time periods: Soviet times, 1985, and today.

Ksenia and Peter are two classmates who are in love with each other. The guys have already planned their lives: after graduation, they go to universities, then get married and have children. Fate decreed otherwise. The son of the second secretary of the regional committee, Dmitry, falls in love with Ksyusha, and his loving father undertakes to arrange the life of his son and decides to marry the young. Fate itself intervenes in the situation, Xenia's father is accused of embezzlement of state property, he is threatened with prison. Only a loving daughter can save him by agreeing to get engaged to a barely-familiar Dmitry. Young people leave for America, and heartbroken Pavel tries to live on.

Twenty years later Ksenia, Dmitry and their daughter Rita return to their hometown. They are happy and secure. The only circumstance darkens their life - memories. Ksenia cannot forgive herself for the betrayal of her first love. And this time, fate does not stand aside and brings together the already mature Peter and the young beauty Rita.

It turns out that the former administrators of the district, having gone on a well-deserved rest, continue to launder money in the Crimean dachas.

Dmitry and Daniil Pevtsov

Due to the wide time span, the director was faced with the task of textured casting. Young characters were supposed to look like mature heroes. Elena Nikolaeva immediately invited the Pevtsov-Drozdova couple to the series, and the question arose of selecting young actors.

After lengthy castings, Elena Nikolaeva invited her son Dmitry Daniil to audition, who, having returned from Canada, entered the RATI for directing, but after a few semesters he transferred to the acting department. The young man showed unprecedented professionalism. Even his father proudly declared that Daniel would be a better actor than him.

Unfortunately, the film was the last work presented to the audience by Daniil Pevtsov. "Angel in the Heart" is silently dedicated to the memory of an actor who tragically died from his injuries after falling from a height.

Olga Drozdova and Anna Mikhailovskaya

Ksenia Kruglova, one of the main characters, was played by the famous actress Olga Drozdova. Olga once again showed the viewer her talent, she is a serious dramatic actress, her role and monologues do not leave anyone indifferent. The same character, only twenty years younger, was embodied on the screens by Anna Mikhailovskaya. Filming took place in the Crimea. The first block was filmed with young actors. The guys were so professionalmore mature stars, having watched the trailer, even doubted whether they could live up to the set bar.

Anna Mikhailovskaya, despite her rather young age, has already managed to take place in the cinema, she is regularly invited by directors. Working with Elena Nikolaeva is not new for Anna. A friendly atmosphere reigned on the set, and the love story that Anna and Daniel showed became the highlight of the series.

Alexander Soldatkin, Sergey Yushkevich

Another young actor, Alexander Soldatkin, took part in the film. He has only three film roles to his credit. The film "Angel in the Heart", the majority of whose actors are accomplished stars, became a good springboard for Alexander's career. In this melodrama, he played the young Dmitry Proskurin, the son of a party worker Grigory Dmitrievich.

In adulthood, this character was embodied on the screens by the famous actor Sergei Yushkevich.

Ekaterina Shpitsa and other actors of the series

The biggest intrigue of the picture was the young actress Ekaterina Shpitsa. The girl has already managed to "light up" on television screens, but she made an indelible impression on the viewer precisely after the film "Angel in the Heart". The actors of the picture harmoniously embodied their characters, but Katya's Rita Proskurina brought a special charm and intrigue to the film.

According to the story, love breaks out between a student at a Moscow institute and her mother's ex-fiance. Neither the past, nor the family, nor the difference in age can separate the lovers.
