“Family”

Project Comedy Club Production is notable primarily for the fact that there is no drama at all in his world, and the family — or rather, four generations of one big family at once — it is shown as a strong community of like-minded people, where everyone loves and respects each other. Of course, both grandparents and students who have just started living together have problems: it became boring without children, they were detained at work, they quarreled because of something … But the authors of the series frame each such situation with jokes and punches and allow the heroes to deal with with the help of humor. In the new episodes of the characters (they were played by Elena Valyushkina and Sergey Udovik, Stepan Devonin and Ekaterina Ilyina, Artemy Shaffer and Veronika Mohireva, Evgeny Antropov and Maria Belonenko), all the same everyday problems familiar to all of us, of which life consists, as well as quirks, await communication with relatives.

From March 27 at 20.00 on TNT.

“Perfect family”

Another Russian series about a large family with Pavel Derevyanko and Olga Medynich as spouses begins with a big quarrel: Sokolov Sr. is mired in debt, and in order not to get caught by enemies, but at the same time try his luck on a big cash prize, he decides to include his family in reality show. This project is unusual: in it, different families will compete for the title of the most ideal. Of course, Sokolov is far from ideal, and that the husband and wife, that the brother and sister here every now and then squabble. But, realizing that they have a chance to change their lives, the Sokolovs rally and do everything to become ideal for the audience of the show. Since there are a lot of families shown in the series, there is also a lot of humor about what can happen in relationships between different generations. And the main message is the liberating thought that being an abnormal family is, in fact, a variant of the norm.

“I will live”

A recent comedy with Evgenia Dmitrieva will remind you how important it is to speak kind words to relatives and show concern, even if it seems that understanding between the elders and the younger has already been lost. Teacher Alla devoted her life, and all of herself, to her husband, children and school. Everyone is so accustomed to the fact that Alla will not go anywhere that it logically begins to seem to the heroine that she is not appreciated at all. Traditional methods do not help to draw attention to themselves, and Alla takes a risky trick, informing her family about her incurable illness. The woman seeks sympathy, and then everything does not go according to plan, because her relatives suddenly begin to worry more about how to divide the inheritance …

“Dad”

The film “Dad” with Vladimir Vdovichenkov in the title role was a hit in cinemas and really united generations, because its main pathos was that the children of the nineties tried to understand some of the motives in the behavior of their harsh fathers. Dad, played by Vdovichenkov, is precisely stern: his son Max experienced the “nettle”, and the punishment in the corner, and jokes about death as a child. But today Max is already a dad himself, only completely different — he cannot even take away a tablet from his children. A trip to his father’s birthday party puts Max in a deep reflection on why his “dad” was the way he was.

“Far Close”

Our latest film — not a comedy in its purest form, but a dramedy and a road movie that will knock out tears even from insensitive viewers. Over time, Misha and his father Boris moved away from each other, but Misha feels the problem, so during one of his visits he gives his dad an old smartphone. Boris starts social networks, accidentally adds an unfamiliar woman named Nadezhda as a friend, and a correspondence begins between them, and such that Boris decides to go to Nadezhda in the Moscow region. He persuades his son, who is engaged in hauling cars, to take him with him on a trip. During a joint trip across all of Russia, father and son will talk about sore points and open up to each other from new sides.
