World cinema knows several examples of screen research on such a delicate and always interesting topic. Domestic authors are not far behind their colleagues, having recently introduced to the public a new series with the symbolic title “Son for Father”. In comparison, the comedy series “Two Fathers, Two Sons” is offered.
Idea
The large film company Yellow, Black & White has long managed to establish itself on the positive side. All the comedy sitcoms and projects of the STS channel were created by her, therefore, for several years the company has accumulated an uncountable number of fans who are looking forward to new projects with interest.
One of these was the implementation of the scenario idea of Alexander Dagan. In the company of his colleagues, including the authors of the sketch “Galygin.Ru”, he departs from the humorous message and offers real drama. To help connect the studio "Sky", for which "Son for Father" becomes the debut work. Such a change in genre orientation is caused by the simple desire of Yellow, Black & White to create something new that goes beyond the usual. Approving the scenario, the company launches a future project - the film “Son for Father”, whose actors are invited to the casting.
Borrowed Images
It's no secret that the film is a modern adaptation of the Israeli series "Authority". The team of scriptwriters easily transferred the plot to the Russian expanses, giving birth to their heroes, their names, lifestyles and at the same time, as often happens, without making significant changes to the original idea. The connection with crime has yet to be known, and in order to add drama and not dumb the viewer with a gangster life, the name is selected very interesting. “Son for father”, whose actors are auditioning, promises to combine the hardships of everyday life with the “problems” of the criminal world.
In the meantime, viewers do not have any information. From the filmography and backstage news, they learn about the preparation of their favorites for the shooting of the future film “Son for Father”, whose actors, following contractual obligations, do not disclose unnecessary information.

The incredible interweaving of fates
The main character Vadim Ilyin works at the school as a history teacher. A well-bred, intelligent young man is going to soon make an offer to the charming Vera. The death of the father pushes the mother to reveal the truth: it turns out that Vadim is the adopted son. Never having guessed about it, he decides to find biological parents. On his own head he succeeds: his father is the local criminal authority George Theodoradi.
The intrigue boils down to the fact that both heroes enter each other's lives. For Vadim, this becomes a shocking shock. George, who does not live by the rules, sees Vadim as his successor, who, of course, needs to completely change.
The success of "authority"
By the way, the case of the foreign original project is quite good. "Authority" is marching on the screens for the fourth season. What will happen in the future is unknown, but so far he is not going to take positions. The Russian analogue is not so stretched - it consists of only 24 series. What fate the protagonist will choose, the audience will know by watching the film “Son for Father”. Actors who performed the main roles are ready, meanwhile, to share their impressions. Choosing Anton Makarsky, the director Levan Koguashvili did not fail. The popular actor and singer has incredible charisma, successfully gets used to various images and, as he himself admits, sees the series “Son for Father” as an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the internal transformation that Vadim experiences throughout the series. Which Vadim is more interesting remains to be decided by the audience.

“Two fathers, two sons”: comedic actors
To prove the postulate about the relationship of blood relatives - father and son - is taken and the STS channel series, created by the same company Yellow, Black & White. Unlike the film “Son for Father”, the problems being played up here are not of such a wide scale and, fortunately, are in no way connected with crime. They are quite simple and, most importantly, served with the inherent STS share of humor: the famous actor Pavel Gurov meets his son on the threshold of his house, whom he abandoned 20 years ago. Victor did not come alone, but with his grandson Vlad. Those hoping not to linger for a long time, the newly-born offspring will still have to stay with Gurov, who in a moment becomes both father and grandfather ...
“Two fathers, two sons” showed a good rating. Currently filmed 2 seasons. The main role was played by Dmitry Nagiyev.
