This question interests many people. Someone refers to this phenomenon with condemnation, someone with understanding. But no one is indifferent. A lot of paintings were written on this subject, filled with letters and films made. This article is dedicated to the new Russian melodramatic series "Unequal Marriage", actors who played the old story in a new way, with unexpected life ups and downs.
Story line. Young and in love
From ancient times it was believed: if there is love in a person’s life, he is happy. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. It happens that fate itself prevents this feeling. This is exactly what happened on the TV series Unequal Marriage. Actors managed to play so that the hearts of the audience either died away, then beat faster. In 150 episodes, there was everything: love and tragedy, threats and hatred. The plot revealed the whole story of a rather complicated relationship between people completely different in age, status, and worldview.
The main character Alice is only twenty years old. She is a future doctor, studying at a medical school. She is in love and happy. The girl’s chosen one is the young star of the fighting without rules, Yegor, who managed to gain a certain fame. In the fighting club, where he is engaged, they are proud of him. The guy is crazy about Alice, ready to carry her in her arms. He is very impressive and romantic. Alice, in love with him, does not miss a single battle with his participation. Right in the ring, Egor made an offer to Alice.
Story line. Go to the harem saving the father
And here, evil rock interferes in the relations of young people. Fedor, Alice's father, owed a huge amount of money to very serious people. He does not know how to repay the debt, so he comes up with a plan: Alice urgently needs to get married. But not for Yegor. There is a rich businessman Sultan Bakoev who likes the daughter of Fedor. And in this situation, he can marry her, paying off the debt of the girl’s father. And Fedor agrees to such an exchange: the daughter’s happiness for paying off a debt.
This is how events unfold in the TV series “Unequal Marriage”. The actors who took part in the filming process are known to the viewer. The sultan was played by Dmitry Brusnikin (the same prince Shadursky from Petersburg Secrets), his young wife Alisa - Anna Antonelli, Yegor - Oleg Solovyov, Alice's father - Sergey Barkovsky, the nurse - Alla Dovlatova (in recent years she has not only hosted various programs, but and actress). So the faces on the screen are all familiar, so you can only enjoy the events.
The girl has to agree that she will never find happiness by marrying by calculation. She breaks all relations with her beloved Yegor and goes with the Sultan to the East. Here, for her, everything is unusual - the city, people, traditions. At first, she hates her husband, but eventually begins to realize that he is not such a bad person as she thought. She feels behind him, like a stone wall. She notes that the Sultan is very smart, decent, honest, that he is worthy of respect. And that he can make her happy. Once in the harem, Alice decides to fight for the title of his beloved wife.
The main characters of the series
The magnificent cast was selected in the film "Unequal Marriage". The actors starring in it, amazingly combined with their characters, fully accustomed to the role.
Anna Antonelli , while working on the series, learned a lot about life in the East. Her heroine managed to become a mother. The actress said that she does not have her children, but she has vast experience in communicating with children of different ages, in addition, she was born a goddaughter before filming. So it was not difficult for her to play mom.
Dmitry Brusnikin played the role of Sultan Bakoev with particular ease. He often gets such roles, the actor’s very colorful appearance. According to the script, he tries to keep the Meshchersky club, because this building belonged to his ancestors.
The director’s good idea was to invite them to “Unequal Marriage” (TV series). Actors were able to easily transform into their characters, so that the story looked at one go.
What remains behind the scenes?
Most of the filming was carried out in Moscow. There were built the necessary scenery corresponding to certain scenes. For full-scale shooting, we moved to the Crimea. The “Caucasian” block of history was filmed near the ruins of the medieval Mangup-Kale fortress.
It was supposed that in this series there will be 150 episodes, but since the shooting and broadcast went in parallel, it was likely that the number of episodes would be slightly different.
The history of the main characters included not only the difference in age. There was also a difference in worldviews. Therefore, consultants were invited to the project, due to which a Muslim wedding turned out to be very natural.
That was the series “Unequal Marriage”. The actors and the roles they played in it were very believable and natural. Therefore, viewers believed everything that was happening on the screen.
