The premiere of this melodrama took place in October 2012. From the very first minutes, the hearts of the audience were overwhelmed with sympathy for the main character, who had serious trials in her life. This story was told in the film “Return Ticket”, the actors of which tried to play all the ups and downs of Mary’s life as reliably as possible.
Story line. Coincidence
The main character, Maria Osipova, dies, her husband Ivan. His death was considered a good reason to arrest a widow. And she, absolutely not guilty of a fragile and intelligent woman, is unable to prove that she has nothing to do with it.
The human factor, the negative combination of circumstances and, moreover, the complete lack of effective legal assistance from those interested in this matter led to the fact that the young woman could not escape the punishment that she did not deserve.
By jury, Mary was sentenced to twelve years of maximum security for intentional murder. And this despite the fact that she was completely not to blame for what happened.
This is how the film “Return Ticket” began. The actors involved in the filming are little known to the audience - Andrei Bilanov, Konstantin Konstantinov, Nelly Nevedina, Oleg Maslennikov ...
Story line. Exit by parole
The five-year-old daughter of the main character - little Sasha - remains an orphan. She is taken to her sister of the deceased Ivan - Svetlana. She tries to take care of the girl, telling her all sorts of nasty things about her mother. Over time, this "good soul" even makes Sasha renounce his mother.
And Maria Osipova, meanwhile, spent six long years in prison. She was released ahead of schedule for exemplary behavior.
The role of the unfairly accused woman was played by Elena Podkaminskaya. She managed to show all the injustice that happened to her, and how she tried to achieve justice.
Being a zealous activist, Maria was able to organize in the colony where she was serving her sentence, an amateur music club and a theater troupe of prisoners. It is thanks to her that the festival of choral groups begins to be held every year, which is very warmly received by the colony staff. And the repertoire that Maria selected for her performance glorifies the Motherland and the amazing people who saved the whole world from fascism.
Thus, the plot of the film “Return Ticket” developed. The actors, who played even small roles in it, did their part so that the audience’s interest in this story would not fade away.
Story line. Denouement
Returning to her hometown, Mary tries to find her daughter and husband's sister. But she needs help, because she alone can not cope with it. And the meeting with the mother does not add optimism to the young woman, because she is not at all happy about the return of her daughter.
The loader Igor, whom Maria accidentally met, helped her get a job as a clerk of goods in a supermarket. Soon there is a completely random meeting with the sister-in-law, which for the main character is useful, albeit too stormy. Her husband’s sister is actively opposed to Mary. Despite the fact that Svetlana knew that Maria was innocent and that her husband had committed suicide, she remained silent at the trial and allowed the woman to suffer innocent harm.
The female lead has already been mentioned above. The remaining characters were played by Andrei Bilanov (Yuri Kashin), Nelly Nevedina (Masha’s mother), Maxim Vazhov (Igor’s lodger), Olga Gagarina (Svetlana), Alexander Anoprikov (Dima’s guard) and others.
Once Maria saw her grown daughter in the house of creativity and tried to talk to her. But nothing good came of it, because the girl was constantly told that her mother was a very bad person. The girl is childishly angry with her mother, who had not come to her for so long. Masha turned out to be useless to the freedom she had been waiting for. Now she will have to go through all the circles of hell so that her beloved daughter will understand and forgive her.
But she is very persistent and does not abandon attempts to find at least some points of contact with the most precious person in the world. Gradually, snow deposits of misunderstanding and anger melt from her affection and sincere feelings.
To unite the heroes makes only a difficult situation: a danger to the health of Sasha.
On a fairly positive note, the film “Return Ticket” ends. The actors tried to convey to the audience the severity and complexity of the situation in which the main character fell into, and how her entourage reacted to this.
