The new series “And Still I Love”, whose actors played another story of love, hope, betrayal and forgiveness, was released back in 2008. But until now, it remains very relevant and attracts the attention of viewers by the numerous and not always happy events taking place in it.
Meet the protagonists
Moscow, the 70s. The main character of the series Vera, like her friends (Inna, Nina and Zina), is young and cheerful. All of them are visiting girls, that is, as they say, a limit. In the capital, they live in a dormitory and work at the Ball Bearing Plant, or "ball" - as they call it. Their origin is very popular, education could not be obtained. But the main thing that they have, according to the girls, is their friendship, as it seems to them then, for life.
In the series “Still, I Love”, the actors were gathered different - both well-known to the audience and beginners. The girlfriends were played by Irina Nizina (Inna), Yana Esipovich (Zina), Olga Dobrina (Nina). Each has its own dream, but each of the girls has completely different roads to it. They do not understand the native Muscovites and amicably discuss the "bourgeoisie."
Faith in this picture was played by actress Tatyana Arntgolts. “And yet I love” became her next interesting work.
Vera’s hopes are justified on the same day - she meets a young man named Vadim. He is the son of a general and future diplomat. Together with him that day was his friend Volodya, whom Inna immediately noticed.
Muscovite students invited the girls to the movies, however, only Vera and Inna agreed to go. Already at the cinema, a meeting took place with a girl, Vadim Katya, who attended a session with some stranger. The behavior of this couple clearly showed that they are in a relationship. Here's a plot twist reflected in the series "And Still, I Love."
A stormy explanation followed between Vadim and Katya. All this and the young man’s reaction to deception, to everything that happened, sparked Faith’s interest in him.
Meeting parents
Vadim and Vera began to meet. So three months passed, during which the girl more and more got used to Vadik. And finally, he decided to introduce Vera to his parents. This meeting was a little strange: Vera was at first lost in the presence of the elder Lyagushovs (this is the name of Vadim), but then, recalling Inna’s insistent advice that all Muscovites drink a lot, she amazed everyone, literally deafening an alcoholic glass after a glass. Of course, the parents were terrified.
So, the picture "And yet I love." Actors Mikhail Zhigalov, Vera Alentova, Tatyana Arntgolts and Anton Khabarov played the acquaintance perfectly. And this scene was set up so that the audience could feel all the rejection by Vadim's parents of his new girlfriend, clearly not suitable for him in status (he would: he is “golden” youth, and she is a poor limit); all the embarrassment and awkwardness of Vera, who did not know what and how to speak and how to win over Nikolai Efremovich and Anna Bronislavovna; Vadim’s slightly strange behavior, which, it seems, only now realized that he and Vera are completely different.
Rejection of the daughter-in-law
Vadim's parents are categorically against his relationship with Vera. And if Nikolai Efremovich understands that she is a very kind, simple and naive little man, then Anna Bronislavovna sees in her a visitor who wants to settle in the capital, in a good, decent family at all costs. She is for her beloved son to marry Katya, whose parents they have been friends with for a long time. But Vadim “bit the bit”, especially since he was offended by Katya for her betrayal. In addition, he really liked Vera - with his naivety, her purity, her love for him. She was the exact opposite of the predator Katya, who had everything from birth, and who was used to walking over their heads.
In the third series, "And Still, I Love," the series shows the wedding of Vera and Vadim. On this day, the girl, on the urgent recommendation of the newly-made mother-in-law, has to abandon her friends. After all, Anna Bronislavovna motivated this by the fact that from this moment the husband will be the most important person in the life of Vera. Sincerely loving Vadim Vera agrees.
How to separate lovers?
In the midst of the celebration, one of the high-ranking guests and part-time uncle Volodya (friend of Vadim), thoroughly drunk, climbs under the table to crawl to his young wife and steal her slipper. Faith, not understanding what was happening, and frightened, hit him with a heel in the forehead. The guest fell down without feelings. The ambulance took him to the hospital, the Lyagushovs and Katya's father (and Katya and his parents were also invited) went with him. Vera, Inna and Volodya went home. In the morning it turned out that the guest simply went over with alcohol and did not remember anything. The storm passed by. But this incident finally turned the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law. Anna Bronislavovna was sure that Vera was to blame for everything and all this could negatively affect the career of her beloved Vadyusha. Even at the wedding, she complains to Katya's father that she is ready for anything, if only this union would break up.
“Go away!” I beg you, leave! ”
After the wedding, the newlyweds live very well. Vera sincerely loves Vadim. He is touched by her spontaneity and also seems to have fallen in love with a girl. They're happy. Nikolai Efremovich supports Vera, reassures her on occasion. She answers the father-in-law with sincere sympathy and respect. The only thing that embarrasses and oppresses her is Anna Bronislavovna, who does not miss a moment in order to make Vera once again remark or veiled to remind that the girl is nothing compared to Vadim.
But on the other hand, seeing that her beloved son is in love, she tries to teach Vera certain rules of behavior; tell her how to dress; trying to help her understand that she needs to study at the institute in order to match the status of the wife of a diplomat. Vera begins to attend preparatory courses at the Pedagogical Institute, while Vadim is on a business trip abroad. Then he arrives and they spend several happy days together, until his next departure. Vera lives on the expectation of a new meeting and the fact that her husband promised the next time to go only with her.
But there is a series of events that have destroyed all her hopes. Nikolai Efremovich dies of a heart attack when he learns that his friend, Colonel Pravda, shot himself. After the funeral, believing that Vera was to blame, Anna Bronislavovna drove her out of the house. And only the housekeeper of the Lyagushovs pities Vera, only she knows that Vera is expecting a child from Vadim. From this moment the girl begins a very difficult life.
What do viewers say?
The plot “And Still, I Love” may seem quite ordinary, but for some reason I want to watch the relationship between Vera and Vadim; I so hope that everything will be fine with them; very sorry for Vera, who, through no fault of her own, fell into difficult circumstances and did not understand how to get out of this hole; sorry even for Vadim, who after many years realized how wrong he was in his youth, having destroyed his first family; sorry for Anna Bronislavovna, who, deep down thinking that Rita might be her own granddaughter, took her to her when Vera was seated and raised her with all the warmth of her soul.
Many different events took place in the series "And Still, I Love." The reviews of the audience concerned each of them - how Rita grew up - the daughter of Vera and Vadim; how she returned to the hut to her mother; how Rita was waiting for her Zhenya; how Vera met many years later with Vadim; how was the life of Vadim himself after he found out that Katya was constantly cheating on him. The film really turned out to be ambiguous. There was a lot of negativity, but in ordinary life it is found no less. The atmosphere of the last decades of the Soviet era, the life of the upper class and the lower classes of that society is very well shown. Perhaps the acquaintance and marriage of the general’s son to a factory girl from the orphanage raises some doubts, but the film is also a film to embellish reality a little.
Series “And yet I love,” whose actors played very soulfully, has become one of the best paintings of the last decades. And the point here is not only in high-quality directing, but also in the game of both masters of domestic cinema and young actors.
