Love is a strong, beautiful and at the same time tragic feeling. It inspires and changes a person. But sometimes it pushes to the most rash acts. A good example of this is the story told in the melodrama Black Blood, which premiered in September this year on the Rossiya TV channel.
Love triangle
The series “Black Blood”, reviews of which you will read in this article, begins with the scene as a witch approaches a young guy who has just returned to the village and says that he returned to trouble. Two sisters, Olya and Ira, get along well and share secrets. But with the advent of Slavik’s neighbor, everything changes. Each of the sisters expects that the enviable groom will pay attention to her. Glory at first sight falls in love with Ira. But Olga does not intend to give up. First, she misleads all relatives and says that she and Slava decided to get married.
The sisters father demands an answer from a neighbor, why did he confuse the head of both his daughters? Glory admits that she loves Irina. They are getting ready for the wedding. But Olga is ready for anything. In the hostel of the school where the sisters live, Alexei comes, who has long been in love with Ira. The sisters inform about the imminent wedding of Irina, and Olga suggests celebrating the joyful event with a bottle of wine. Thrilled by Lesch's drink, he does not hide his feelings and cries. Olga closes them in the room and calls Slava.
The guy comes from the village, enters the room and sees Irina hugging the weeping Lesha. Glory, not listening to Ira’s explanations, leaves. Olya is glad that she managed to upset their wedding. Suddenly Alexei arrives in the village and tells the truth to Slava: Olga offered to drink, she closed them in the room, there was nothing and could not be between him and Ira. The truth has opened - the lovers are together again. And Olga, obsessed with the desire to recapture Slavik from her sister, goes to the witch Glafira.
Price of love
The sorceress for a long time does not agree to make a love potion, and warns Olga about the terrible consequences - the curse will fall on their entire family. Glafira asks the girl to bring a ring with a white stone. From a terrible potion, the stone instantly turns black. In the reviews of the series "Black Blood" it is mentioned that this is a rather eerie sight. But Olga does not stop it. The girl gives her neighbor Slavik a drink of love potion, and the love spell works.
Before the wedding, Irina arrives home and sees the whole village walking at the wedding of Slava and her sister Olga. The curse immediately makes itself felt - on the same day the mother of the sisters dies. Heartbroken, Irina soon comes to visit Alex and invites her to marry him. The girl does not want to stay in the village and gives her consent.
For several years the sisters did not see each other. Irina and Alexei live in the city, their son Victor grows. Olya and Slava have a daughter Alain and a son Tolya. My sisters got sick with their father, Irina goes to visit him. The meeting enlivens the feelings of Glory and Irina, and they begin to secretly meet. Jealous Olga tracks them and, accidentally pulling the trigger, kills her husband. They put Olga. Children remained in the care of their sisters father. Having learned the truth, Alexei wants to get a divorce.
The sick father asks Irina to take care of her nephews - the children of Olga. Irina begins to take custody of them. Judging by the reviews of the series "Black Blood", Alexey is the most liked by the audience. For the sake of children, he forgives Irina treason and helps arrange custody. They bring up children together. Olga in the colony is in a half-mad state. A few years later, Irina’s son leaves to study in Moscow. Olga’s daughter is a medical student, and her son got in touch with a bad company. To avoid criminal prosecution, Alexey takes him to the village, where another tragedy takes place - the father of the sisters dies on fishing.
Bitter truth

Alena meets a good guy Sergei. They're happy. To improve her financial situation, the girl takes part in a beauty contest and takes the main prize. Alena does not know what this owes to the criminal authority Filatov, and is preparing for the wedding with Sergey.
Soon her brother Toli began to get into trouble with the law and trouble with the bandits. Filatov offers Alena help, but not free of charge - the girl should become his wife.

The girl is trying to commit suicide, she is saved from suicide by the news that an error occurred and Sergey is alive. Olga gets acquainted with Semyon. But he suddenly dies.

The film "Black Blood", the plot of which is described above, is a joint project of Belarus and Russia. The directors of this exciting story are Anna Erofeeva and Alexei Karelin. Many viewers noted that the film was of interest to many and struck a chord. Even viewers who do not have the patience to watch multi-part films have not noticed how many episodes in the series “Black Blood” captures a plausible story.
The cast was particularly impressed. The series begins with meeting the Kotov sisters. What was the surprise of many viewers when after a few minutes they are returned to the past, and young Irina and Olga come up before their eyes - an amazing selection. Young actresses are strikingly similar to adult sisters. I was pleased with the plot of the film, and the selection of actors, and their excellent game.
