In 2014, the film was released by director Alexei Rudakov, based on the work of the famous Russian writer Elena Mikhalkova. A multi-part melodrama called "The Mockingbird Smile", the actors and roles in which were carefully selected by the filmmakers, won the hearts of many viewers. According to statistics collected at the beginning of 2015, the series entered the top ten most watched television projects.
The plot of the series
In the center of events is a heroine named Victoria, who lived with her grandmother in a quiet town and dreamed of meeting her prince and creating a happy family. Her dream was destined to come true: the girl met Cyril - a wealthy young man from the capital. Further, everything went as if according to a "fairy-tale" plan: romantic dates, a wedding, moving to Moscow, living in a large beautiful house and the birth of two charming children. Everything was good until a certain moment, which destroyed all the euphoria.
As it turned out, all this time Cyril had a mistress, Angela, who managed to break up the marriage and marry the guy on herself. Here the decisive role was played by the money and ties of her father, the influential entrepreneur Parshin. Cyril left the family, putting the preservation of his business in the first place.
Meanwhile, Vika was thrown out into the street, as the young father decided to keep the children. The heroine had to go through a lot and face various dangers. But this only tempered her character. Now the girl has two main goals - to return the children and revenge on her ex-spouse.
The twisted storyline of the film “The Mockingbird Smile”, the actors and roles in which are involved in the drama and the detective, preserves the intrigue to the last. Events are changing at an accelerated pace, which gives the picture dynamism.
Leading actors
The series "Mockingbird Smile" is not only an interesting plot, but also an excellent cast. As a result of careful selection, a balanced team of professionals was formed, which worked like a well-established orchestra.
The main character in the film - the young girl Vika - was played by actress Elena Arosieva. The main character first appeared in front of the audience in the image of a naive beauty who does not yet have life experience. According to the scenario, Victoria had to go through a difficult, thorny path, on which both well-wishers and villains met. As a result, the girl gradually turned from a young modest woman into a tough and strict business woman. Various troubles led to such changes, among which there was even imprisonment.
The image of the negative character, which was made by Vicki's husband, Cyril, was perfectly reflected by the famous actor Kirill Safonov. Although earlier he appeared in projects in a completely different role - for the most part positive. In this series, Safonov, with his acting game, tried to show his hero not so much from the negative side, but from different angles. Therefore, at first the audience liked the man whom Elena Arosieva married in the film. But in the course of events, he discovered new character traits that turned his entire audience away from him.
The image of the homeowner
In the television series "Mockingbird Smile", in addition to the two main characters, there is another heroine who provoked a divorce. This is the daughter of a wealthy businessman named Angelica, whose role was played by Anna Kazyuchits. Her heroine is a fatal beauty, attracting the views of all the males. But she definitely opted for Cyril, despite his unfree status as a married man. Angela did everything to win the heart of a young hero and marry him. Only the result of these intrigues did not satisfy her, and the heroine began to get involved in alcohol.
Entertaining facts
As the creators of the television series “Mockingbird Smile” admitted, the actors and roles in the film were so consistent with each other that many artists became friends.
Interestingly, according to the scriptwriter, the heroine Vika in one of the scenes was to express herself in German. Since Arosiev never studied him, she asked a German woman to record the necessary German phrase on the recorder. At night, the actress listened to foreign speech and repeated it many times. As a result, the conversation in German turned out, but with a slight accent, which did not spoil the impression.
