Big Difference

The "Big Difference" is created not only for the audience, but also for those who became the hero of the parody - TV presenters and actors.

The uniqueness of the project is that in addition to entertainment, the program also has a developmental function. After all, our guest, who is being parodied, has a chance to look at himself from the outside, to see his shortcomings and advantages. Some people like themselves, and some don't. But the main thing is that no one remains indifferent.

When her older sister dies, a woman returns from Saint Petersberg to a remote village in Yakutia. Bit by bit, a drama of epic proportion unfolds—accompanied and intensified by the Yakut throat singing of the two women. Although the camera lets us viscerally feel the state of limbo she finds herself in, the woman manages—together with her niece—to go her own way. Atmospheric and moving.
