Melodramas about the village are a separate genre of Russian cinema, beloved, as a rule, by the older generation and housewives. Such is our mentality that low-budget films about the life of people, about love and life in different conditions are liked by the viewer from Russian villages who enjoys spoiled by blockbusters and adventure militants, Hollywood comedies.
Melodramas about the village are distinguished by the simplicity and comprehensibility of the plot, the abundance of heroes, the presence of several love lines. All this is “seasoned” with suffering, separation from children, divorces and family quarrels. So, it turns out a rather interesting story in which a young and pretty graduate dreams of a capital and a rich husband, her mother fights with her father, who is always intoxicated, and her brother is engaged in illegal business and runs the risk of going to jail. On such commonplace plots, as a rule, melodramas about the village are filmed, which are later broadcast on the central channels in the evenings. Who acts in films of this genre? Little-known actors, graduates of GITIS and their school. Shchepkina, not yet lit up in the "big" movie. If the producers and directors have a large budget, they invite popular actors to the main roles, who agree to appear in such uninteresting films for considerable money. The advantages are that cardboard decorations are used in a small amount, most of the scenes were shot “in kind”, that is, in nature and in real conditions. The actors manage for a considerable fee, allocated by the television channel and film company, not only to work and add another film to their portfolio, but also to relax in the fresh air. For this reason, melodramas about the village are popular not only with the audience, but also with the crew, artists and all those involved in the work on the film.
