On the online platform more.tv started showing the eight-serial dramedy Eduard Hovhannisyan “Cheeky” on the four sex workers from a small town in the Stavropol region, who decide to start a new life and to open your own fitness club. Her Sigelman series surprised with a fresh perspective on women’s fate in the Russian province.From the start “SNiP” you have to believe that four young women in the North Caucasus with living fathers and brothers (one of them, performed by “man-meme” Anton Lapenko, serve in the police) can work as prostitutes on the track and the family accept it is not that tolerant, but without much noise — well this work, everyone has to spin. And also make an effort to not listen to the Moscow accent the main characters, especially noticeable in contrast with the patter of episodic characters, chef, taxi drivers, vendors of the market, cashiers and passengers of minibuses.However, both make surprisingly easy. The main heroine of the world (Irina Nosova), Luda (Barbara shmykova), Marina (Alyona Mikhailova) and Jeanne (Irina Gorbachev), with the exception of pronunciation, direct throughout. Pictures of southern life — with roadside tavern Colosseum, decorated in accordance with local ideas about the beautiful interiors of apartments and houses, garish signs, Turkish and Russian pop from every angle, watermelons, Semko, dried fish and other dense odorous flavor — full of life, with the view of the authors as false completely devoid of emotion, disgust and arrogance. And dialogues, interspersed with evil or hilarious — depending on situation — materkom, “jokes for three hundred” and quotes from Soviet cartoons, they sound so natural that, it turns out, and awkward language quite intelligibly to Express love, pain and despair from the injustice, all the time, like clay dust impregnating these Sunny colorful shots.The motley crowd that inhabit the series, for once, is not only the parties of the titular nationality, while the characters are not confined to their ethnicity and not limited to it, and the writers are not afraid to joke about it (dialogue on the market: “These suits national minorities are well taken.— I’m Greek.— God bless everyone!”). Costumed Cossacks here act as unequivocally negative characters — to the extent that the wickedness of the chief of them, played by Sergey Gilev, takes on farcical proportions. Of police corruption in secret, no one does, and the Orthodox Church is depicted with respect, but with good-natured irony. The creators were not even alien popular fresh West series the concept of “sexy priest”, although the young father Sergius (Michael Tee), who came to God by a circuitous route, to be the object of desire for severalabout stopping bushy beard, and the presence of his wife and three children.Perhaps the most bold line is associated with the son of Joan Roma (Daniel Smith), loving to dress in women’s clothes and painted my mother’s cosmetics. Apparently, resolves the story in a fairly conventional manner, but then, as is shown indifferent attitude to this mother (and nervous, of the guardianship), is another merit of the authors, subtly promoting the philosophy of making different, not like everything, including women, trapped in a literal and figurative sense on the sidelines. Of course, the Central image of the “whore with a heart of gold” is not new — look at Sonia Marmeladov, though, “Intergirl”, with which “chick” is clearly the thematic and prosodic communications. However, almost for the first time in 30 years on the Russian TV prostitutes are not “people too”, but simply — people.
