The film work directed by Dmitry Laktionov is a melodrama of Ukrainian production, the official premiere of which took place in Kazakhstan in 2013. As soon as the series "Double Life" was released, reviews about it literally rained down, as if from a cornucopia. As it turned out, the film really deserves to be actively discussed. One reason for this is the unusual storyline. At first glance, it seems that a banal situation with a love triangle is being played out, but in fact, the most diverse spheres of human life are affected.
The plot of the television series
In the center of events is a married couple who lived together happily for 17 years. Catherine, who in her early years sacrificed her career, is engaged in housekeeping, raising a child, and preserving the family hearth. At the same time, her husband Mark works hard and makes money to ensure a comfortable life. However, this happiness is overshadowed when the husband of Catherine suddenly, by the will of fate, passes away.
When they began to investigate all the nuances of this case, it turned out that Mark had two families. Moreover, he had an officially registered relationship with his second wife, unlike a civil marriage with Katya. Nina, the second wife of Mark, in turn, was also going to sacrifice career growth for the sake of having a baby, but this did not happen.
In the "arena" appears Roman - the brother of the late Mark. He makes a lot of efforts in order to reconcile angry women. But all these efforts do not lead to a positive result. On the other hand, Nina is eyeing him, who dreams of children and plans to simply use Roman for her own purposes. Catherine, on the other hand, is gradually adjusting her personal life: her relations with her son are gradually returning to normal, an interesting man is caring for her. In addition, Katya decides to return to work and begin active work.
Over time, the main characters of the film get rid of the negative mood and come to the conclusion that there is no sense in harboring grievances, but on the contrary, it is time to let go of the past and build your positive future.
If you analyze the plot, you can see that the series "Double Life" differs from many other "soap operas". The reviews only confirm this fact, because the film contains different storylines that reveal not only the life of the main characters, but also the experiences of teenage children, their attitude to family values, and much more.

Statements by performers
