In the multi-part film “Another Chance”, the leading actors find themselves in an unusual situation: the relationship between the characters becomes so confused that until the very end of the film, the audience watches with genuine interest how everything will be resolved. What will end this story and who played the main roles in it?
“Another Chance”: actors, roles, short story
The main character of the film is a young woman Polina Cherkasova (M. Anikanova). She has everything - a loving husband, smart and beautiful son. But then one day the family gets into a car accident. Waking up in a hospital, Cherkasova discovers that her beloved men are dead.
The widowed Cherkasova is heartbroken. She is seriously thinking about how to die. But Polina's sister (Vera) persuades a woman to give birth to a second child and give herself another chance.
Actors M. Anikanova and Yu. Baturin, or rather, their on-screen heroes, met only once and spent an unforgettable night together. If Arseny was counting on the continuation of the relationship, then Polina took such a step only in order to become pregnant and again experience the joy of motherhood. After the only meeting, the couple broke up and did not see each other for many years, until Cherkasova came to work in a new company and saw her old friend there.
Between Polina and Arseny, a romance broke out again. The man almost immediately became a close person for Polina’s daughter. But some facts from the past lives of both heroes will soon become known and will build a new wall of misunderstanding between them.
Maria Anikanova as Polina
Maria Anikanova, a graduate of the Schukin School, has been a member of the Sovremennik Theater since 1995. The artist began her career in cinema in 1991 with the main role in the film “House under the Starry Sky”, where Mikhail Ulyanov and Alexander Abdulov became her partners on the set. Then there was a role in the drama "Tomorrow", dedicated to the Chernobyl disaster.
After nine years of calm, Anikanova returned to the screens, playing only episodic roles in the series. In 2005, she was assigned the main role in the project “Two Fates 2”, after which progress was made in her television career.
In the multi-part film “Another Chance,” actors Y. Baturin and M. Anikanova play a romantic couple. The heroine Anikanova Polina seduced Arseny with only one goal - to get pregnant. Therefore, after spending the night with him, the woman simply disappeared from the horizon, not even leaving contact information. Many years later, Polina Cherkasova will have to fall in love with this man again, find the strength in herself to tell Arseny the whole truth about her previous life, and finally find out who is to blame for the accident that claimed the lives of her child and husband.
Yuri Baturin as Arseniy
Baturin is a native of the Dnipropetrovsk region (Ukraine). There he graduated from the theater school, and then went to get a director's education at GITIS. But the 90s were not the best time for many actors, so Yuri Baturin left the profession and began to learn other specialties: the longest time he worked as a bartender, restaurant administrator and trucker.
When Baturin was already well over thirty, his former fellow student called him and offered to return to the world of cinema. Yuri decided to take a chance, and he managed to regain its former form: only in 2006, the actor participated in seven television projects. True, the main role went to him in only one thing - in the series "Women's Stories."
In the film “Another Chance,” Baturin had a chance to play a rather romantic hero. Arseny remembered Polina for a long time after their only meeting and tried to find a woman. And when she appeared in his company as a new employee, at first she was delighted, but then Polina's deliberate coldness offended him. After a long series of omissions and misunderstandings, the main characters still found a common language and resumed their romance.
