“Pandemic played with the girl a cruel joke – and it’s not about the number of dislikes allowed for her video. The problem was much more serious – video service will announce a new release. – The main heroine of the series “Zone of discomfort” Ilona (played by Anna Shepeleva, which the viewer knows of such series as “the Last Minister”, “a Short course in happy life”, “School”) because of the pandemic, “got laid off”: her rich patron cut their costs, and Ilona in the list of vital spending was not. Along with her lover in the fog dissolved, the subscribers, fans, fashion friends, success and status – heavy the entire Suite turned out to be fake, paid for out once a generous pocket.”
How to maintain a story about a life of luxury and the image of the Queen of cosmetics when you have no talent, no basic skills or knowledge about how to live in a world where you’re a useless nobody? How to return a Bohemian life when money is left on a trip to the “roundabout”? The only hope for the latest Gucci handbag and resourceful PR Manager Maxim (in this role, Maxim lagashkin) with a big heart, who from sincere sympathy is taken to help.
“Zone of discomfort” is the first series where I played multiple roles. It is a Comedy about today’s our “fun days” – isolation and quarantine. In addition to Maxim I play the mother of the main character, and also a sugar daddy that takes care of Ilona. Unexpected role, but how to refuse? Not so often the male actors in our film play women only recall the brilliant Oleg Tabakov in the tale “Mary Poppins, goodbye”, Alexander Kalyagin in a role of Donna Rose in “Hello, I your aunt!” and Gregory Millyar in the role of Baba Yaga. And, perhaps, all! – says Maxim lagashkin”.
“the Creation of this project – quarantine spontaneous conception. The birth was planned, lungs. Of course, the emergence of such fantasies – this is a consequence of the pandemic (laughs). And Ilona – a collective image, which has the most diverse sources of inspiration, says Director and author Paul Bardin. The idea is to give three roles Logashkino Maxim was born after meeting him. However, before this was the idea that all male roles should be played by a single actor – I think it’s a stroke within the genre. I hope the viewer will appreciate it. But it’s also a necessity – we tried to minimize the number of people on the platform and not to create unnecessary characters. Even if they are, then it is clear that they played the same actor. We are not embarrassed. On the contrary, it rather reveals the essence of the concept. All these characters are the main people in life of our heroine, she makes the choice, based on interaction with these characters, and that their is one person playing, there is some humor, although our project is not a pure Comedy.”
“My character is a blogger, she’s Oka��of alas at the precipice of an artificial world that her ex gave her. The man bought thousands of fake followers, she bathed in that glory, but with his departure the Princess turned into Cinderella and carriage to the Bicycle, says actress Anna Shepeleva. – A pandemic has turned all from legs on a head in everyone’s life. For example, I had a lot of myself to remove that very difficult, although I worked under the supervision of the operator Alexander Simonov, the great master. I even forgot to make at least one photo during the filming, tired to watch. On the third hour of the first shift found the wrinkles on the face that had not seen them. What was found on the sixth hour already and not speak”.
