Passion around a mermaid girl No, we are not going to talk about a fairy tale, although one of the descriptions for this series told about it, as if about a fairy tale: ' In the seaside town lives a beautiful girl Alyona. Friends call her Undina because she knows how to swim and communicate with dolphins. . . ' We will talk about the hit series, won the love of viewers, especially pensioners. 'Undina' became a breakthrough in the field of television films, showing shooting not only in ordinary apartments, but also very beautiful sea and underwater shootings, professional scenery of the dolphinarium, as well as shooting in the mountains. Direct comparison with the released a couple of years earlier 'Three vs. all', which was filmed only in apartments, on the street and at the car wash. Strange that ' Undina' disliked on the Kinopoisk, despite the fact that ' Three against all' received a pretty good rating. Perhaps, the increase in multi-part timekeeping (30 episodes vs. 90), which caused many to disdain the soap opera'. I think if there were a lot of retirees sitting on the crown site dedicated to the world of cinema, the rating would be much higher. Now for the series.
In every self-respecting melodramatic series, there must necessarily be a love triangle, in which representatives of the middle generation of the age of 40 appear, and they are bound by relationships that are already 20 years old. This figure is present in every such story. One of them must have a son or daughter born to a loved one who was one just 20 years ago (and this young man or girl now has his own passions on the love front). Be sure in such stories appears criminal authority, at the behest of which two bandits act. If you are not tired of such stories, if you want to watch another TV epic about the lives of people, then you should definitely watch, you can even not waste time on the current endless series, but watch ' Undina' In the Network, the good is now there is such an opportunity. 90 episodes will fly in one breath. Despite the fact that the series is shot to the above-described standard, it is more than interesting to watch it, there is no delirium, which, it seems, abounds in recent ' Efrosinha' (waited for my native endings, fortunately I did not get hooked on this Russian Santa Barbara in 2010). 'Undina' is a series for all ages, for example, we watched it with the whole family.
The cast is also selected on ' excellent': the long-known Alyona Khmelnitskaya took on the responsible role of the mother of the main character, who is worried about her daughter and can not forgive the old offense of her old boyfriend, trying to build a relationship with the editor of a local newspaper. During the most beautiful melodic musical compositions, inserted during lyrical scenes (the merit of the brilliant composer Dmitry Dankov), her heroine talks about her experiences and thoughts, most often associated with her daughter. The daughter herself, that is, the main character by the nickname derived in the title of the series, is played by beauty Julia Pozhidaeva, who became a star thanks to this role. The star of the TV series Vadim Andreev is again in a positive role, this time he plays the investigator, a friend of the Panchenko family (by the way, in ' Three against all' he had a similar role as a friend of the Vlasov family). Mikhail Dorozhkin managed to cause hatred for his character - Taranov's stepson, for whom there is nothing sacred, for whom there is only money in life - a similar role he later received in ' Doomed to become a star'. Gabriella Mariani - another star of the series, here she plays an equally cynical woman who tries to keep a lover near him in a seaside town the love of his youth. Stepan Starchikov played a small role as a business partner of Taranov, after which he managed to get a more significant role in 'Carmelite'. An equally insignificant role of one of the henchmen of the local mafia is played by Pavel Smetankin, who six months before played... an honest teacher in 'Simple Truths'! Conclusion one - in 'Undine' gathered a team of excellent actors, both famous and beginners.
You may not think that I am a fan of soap operas - I confess, I was one as a child, I was immediately addicted to big cinema, but the series, among which ' Undina' one of the best, remained in memory forever and left pleasant memories of childhood.
