Many people still remember those times when in the Soviet Union speculators were not just imprisoned, but sentenced to death. But there were also those who made a lot of money this way. True, this did not bring happiness to everyone … The plot of the adventurous series "Fartsa" tells about all this. Actors and their acting, music, the spirit of that time will definitely find a response in the soul of a lover of Soviet cinema.

How the series was created

The creator of the project is the famous producer and showman Alexander Tsekalo. He worked on such series as "Major", "It doesn't get better", "Locust" and many others.

Yegor Baranov became a director. Despite his youth, the talented Baranov managed to work in several projects. Among them are "The Nightingale the Robber", "The Invisibles", and in the series "Suicides" Yegor was an actor and one of the screenwriters.

Creators and actors of the series "Fartsa"sought to create the most realistic picture of the era when the TV movie takes place. For this, a large amount of work was carried out: people who were directly involved in the fartsovka were searched, their memories were recorded, and a script was written on this basis.

Storyline

Four friends are at the center of the story. Young people have known each other since childhood, which is why their desire to help each other leads to a dramatic denouement.

The film takes place between 1961 and 1991. At that time, being a speculator (fartsevat) meant incurring mortal danger. But many took this risk, and for some it was justified.

Komsomolets Andrey Trofimov dreams of becoming a writer. Wanting to get new impressions, he goes to the "construction of the century" - the Bratsk hydroelectric power station. At home, a girl and true friends are waiting for him - the "nerd" Kostya, the cocky Sasha and the merry fellow Boris.

Upon returning home Andrey learns that Kostya lost 5 thousand rubles in cards. This is a lot of money even for his father, who is not the last in the Ministry.

Faithful to their friendship, young people decide to engage in illegal business - trading in foreign goods and money. In this they are helped by an experienced speculator named Pont. By deception, he lures the guys into the network he created.

The more money your friends make, the further the dream of each of them becomes. And now the debt has long been paid, and they keep going on and on…

Actors and roles of the series "Fartsa"
