In September 2017, the premiere screening of the film "Good Intentions" was held on the Rossiya TV channel. The main idea that the authors wanted to convey to the viewer lies in the very title of the film: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
The entire plot of the film is divided into three time periods.
"Good intentions". Main Characters
The series "Good Intentions" was released in 2017. The main action takes place around the Firsov family in the small town of Zaozersk.
Vladimir Semenovich Firsov is an honest and fair mayor who does the best for his city and his family.
Semyon Firsov is the eldest son and right hand of Vladimir Semyonovich. Powerful, cruel and vain. Semyon falls in love with a cabaret dancer and invites her to go with him, despite the fact that she does not love him.
Natasha is the middle daughter of Vladimir Semenovich. She is almost madly in love with her husband Vladik. Vladik constantly gets into some unpleasant stories: either he loses money, or he is drunk forget caught by the wheel. Natasha humbly forgives him everything and solves all problems through her father. Natasha and her husband have two children.
Yulia Firsova is the mayor's youngest daughter. Spoiled, eccentric, selfish. Julia grew up without a mother and practically does not remember her, but, surrounded by all-round care from her father and older brother, she got used to the fact that the whole world should revolve around her, and all desires should be instantly fulfilled. Yulia likes the young architect Bogdan Klyuchevsky, and she is trying with all her might to get the object of adoration and marry him to herself.
Girl Inga dances in a cabaret, work weighs on her. And one day Semyon Firsov notices her and provides an opportunity to say goodbye to her past life forever. Inga really wants a new life, but she remains honest and warns Semyon that she does not love him. As a result, she becomes Firsov's wife and works as a choreographer at school. Work is her only outlet in life with her unloved husband, in eternal mockery from his relatives.
Bogdan Klyuchevsky is a young and talented architect. Bogdan creates a project for the improvement of Zelenogorsk, and then is hired by Semyon to create a project for his house. Bogdan is going to marry Yulia, but he is not really carried away by her. But the meeting with Inga turned out to be fatal. The guy fell in love with the girl with all his heart. In one of the reviews about the film "Good Intentions" 2017, you can read "… some kind of unearthly connection was immediately established between Inga and Bogdan, they are like light halves that met in a dark kingdom. This kind of love can't end well…"
Actors
Reviews of "Good Intentions" often refer to the cast, and many viewers think the cast is perfect. Most of the actors are known firsthand in Russian cinema.
One of the main roles, namely the role of Inga, was played by the inimitable Glafira Tarkhanova. Many directors speak of her as the most talented of modern actresses. Indeed, Tarkhanova starred in a huge number of Russian films: "Treason", "Lovers", "Friend of the Family", "A Year in Tuscany", "The Way to Yourself", "Gromovs" and many others. During the filming of the series "Good Intentions" (2017), the actress was in an interesting position and was waiting for the birth of her fourth child. But, despite this, as noted by members of the film crew, she behaved extremely professionally. In reviews of the film "Good Intentions" in 2017, Glafira's work is noted most often, indicating the plausibility of the role she played.
Actor Dmitry Orlov, who played Semyon Firsov, is no less popular. Little is known about Dmitry's biography, but the number of films and television series in which he starred is impressive. Orlov is not only an actor, but also a director, producer, screenwriter and even a TV presenter.
The role of Firsov Sr. had a chance to play Valery Afanasiev. All of his roles cannot be listed, their number has long exceeded a hundred. Roles in theater and cinema, serials, but on top of everything else, Valery also writes poetry andvirtuoso plays the guitar.

Yana Sobolevskaya got the role of Natasha. Until 2014, Yana lived in Kyiv, and only a few years ago she moved to Moscow. The actress works a lot in the theater, but also plays roles in the cinema quite often. She starred in one of the most popular TV series of our time - "Major", where she played the episodic role of Igor Sokolovsky's mother.

The film also featured Anastasia Vedenskaya, Andrey Barilo, Vladimir Zherebtsov, Maria Pirogova, Sergey Denga and many others.
What the movie is about
The heroes of the series are constantly faced with a choice, and those actions that they perform out of good intentions turn against them. Accordingly, the name of the series reflects its main essence. The authors seem to lead the viewer to the idea that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
What else is the movie about? About love and hate, about decency and dishonor, but simply about life, in all its manifestations.
Feedback about acting
Reviews of the film "Good Intentions" asalways contradictory. Many viewers note the flawlessly selected cast. The actors played their characters so talentedly that it is simply impossible not to believe this film.

But, as they say, how many people, so many opinions, so it's better to see once than hear a hundred times.
