"Big second".
From August 6 to START
In the dramedy "Big Second", two stories unfold in parallel.
The heroes of the first are screenwriters Kostya and Kira.
Previously, they were a couple, then broke up, and now they are working together on a plot on a romantic theme.
The second line is dedicated to their characters.
They met online for the sake of a single meeting and do not plan to see each other again, but soon fate brings them together again.
Through the heroes of their script, Kostya and Kira will try to figure out their own relationship.
The authors of the script were played by Viktor Shamirov and Olga Motina-Suponeva, who also acted as the scriptwriters of the series.
However, Shamirov emphasizes: although they relied on personal experience during the work on the series, the story presented on the screen is not about them.
Motina-Suponeva expects that this tape will be close to many family people.
“They parted at the end of their inner pain, their conflict.
Kira did not discuss a lot with Kostya, they had an unpaid bill to each other, which they are trying to pay in this story, find out, figure it out.
We raise topics that often people, living with each other for many years, never raise, but would like to.
I am convinced that many, having watched the series, will say: "Oh, that's how it is, that's my thoughts, but at the same time I never talked about it with my partner," the screenwriter explained.
The roles in the series were also played by Dmitry Lysenkov, Evgenia Borzykh, Lyudmila Artemyeva, Olga Tumaykina, Sergey Belogolovtsev and other actors.
