Acting

2025 · 1 season

A breezy, self-mocking showbiz comedy where a pampered star is knocked down a peg and forced to rough it among earnest theater folk.

Overview: Vyacheslav Tretyakov is a superstar of modern Russian cinema. The perfect picture is spoiled only by a devastating review of his latest film from the blogger-film critic Nikita Kislyak. Tretyakov tries to force Kislyak to delete the video, but instead arranges a public fight. To restore her reputation and avoid trial, the star will have to fulfill the condition of the hated film critic — forgetting about pride and large contracts, play the main role in an unknown provincial theater.
How it feels: Satirical, light, cynical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Celebrity, media, identity, ambition
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
