Nutsa, Elena Zakharova (“Words and Music”), Dmitry Kharatyan (“Moscow Saga”) and Alexei Sekirin in the melodrama “Ampola”. “Amapola” – translated from Spanish this word means wild poppy. Beautiful flower. And a once-popular song. Today’s generation knows it only because the characters of Once Upon a Time in America dance to this tune on the screen. He loves her. She's not. Or rather, she just doesn’t notice what’s happening. And in our history, the situation seems to repeat itself. A singer from a small Moscow cafe met a twenty-year-old boy. Her name was Nina. Nina believed in her star. Her new friend, Grisha, works as a salesman in a stall. He came to the capital from the provinces, but not for fame, but to earn money. For Nina, making a star career is not the most important thing! Because there is a "great love" in her life. Nina loves a grown man, married, with children. She wants to save a lot of money and buy an apartment. To bring your lover here and be happy with him. Grisha knows that Nina loves someone else. Nothing can be done, I fell in love with her right away. They met when she was buying beer at night. Nina sang "Amapola" to him. And even translated into Russian the words of this song. And then Grisha did not expect such an act from himself, jumped out of the kiosk and bought her a flower. That's where it starts. close

Opening remarks by film critic Alexander Shpagin.
The production was carried out by director Konstantin Khudyakov, known for the films “Live in Your Own Way”, “Mother of Jesus”, “Who Will Pay for Luck?”, “Success”, “Without a Return Address”, TV series “Such a Short Long Life”, “Impostors”. This is not the first experience of cooperation of the famous director with the TV channel: on "Culture" there were performances staged by Khudyakov, he hosted the TV program "Theater. Classics". The script was written by playwright, director and TV presenter Andrei Maksimov, who hosts the program Night Flight on the TV channel "Culture". The script is based on the stories of Russian writers about love.
“Island without Love” is a unique television work, the plot is based on the undeservedly forgotten and little-known stories of Russian writers of the XX century. Each part is a feature film based on one of the novels. The series organically intertwines the events of the past and the present - stories about love and "working days" of the actors of the provincial theater.
"Before we start shooting the film," says director Konstantin Khudyakov, "we shoveled a huge amount of literature, selecting the plots. In the Russian prose of the XX century love stories - a great many. It was not interesting for me to do just a staging, and we came up with this move: all the love stories of “Island” are played by a troupe of one theater, and each artist plays two roles of the opposite plan.
Each film is a world of mysterious, elusive and obvious, healing and destructive, beautiful and terrible feelings and human passions called love. The broad historical and social context pushes the boundaries of private love and family stories.
The stories selected by us are mostly sad, telling about the hardships of love, unfulfilled hopes, broken fates. Love is not a cloudless glamour, sometimes a drama, sometimes a tragedy. Even Grigory Gorin’s story “Family Happiness”, written in Gorin lightly and witty, is actually a very serious – and sad – story about how a prosperous family was almost destroyed because of a ridiculous whim, about how little we value what we have.
