Cocaine, a red Porsche, an expensive apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows, expensive alcohol and many women – this is the world of Andrey Mirkin (Milos Bikovich, known for the projects “Kholop”, “Hotel Belgrade”). Hypocrites are selling each other out for money, and fighting for the environment, minority rights, and a safe work environment is not a new sincerity, but an old lie. This is how the protagonist in the prologue of the first episode of the series “The Heifers” (a series of video services Wink and more.tv) describes the life of rotten Moscow.
According to the plot of the series, Andrei, together with Vika (Lyubov Aksenova, known for the projects “Walk, Vasya!”, “Kidney”) runs a PR agency that creates compromising information on their competitors for company bosses. The “boomerang of goodness” launched by the hero returns: he is framed, someone leaks Andrey’s sex video with Rita, the wife of an “authoritative” billionaire (Anna Slyu, known for the projects “Tossing”, “A Short Course in Family Life”). Because of the scandal, the man loses a multi-million dollar tender, and his business goes to the bottom.
Telok has all the makings of a future hit – a star cast, a powerful team of producers (Zhora Kryzhovnikov, Vyacheslav Murugov, Petr Anurov, Danila Sharapov) and a bestseller as the basis for the plot. But there are two big problems – the filmed material and the author’s intonation.
