In the Northern capital started shooting a large-scale project.

In St. Petersburg, began shooting the Comedy “elephant” directed by Alexei
Krasouski. The plot revolves around a children’s writer Valentin Shubin,
accustomed to live in seclusion. His book about the Elephant the Bear, written in
youth, enjoyed great success both at home and abroad. Series
a random event causes a new surge of interest in personality and creativity
writer and introvert. Adults and young readers waiting for new books, but Shubin them
does not want to write.

The main role of the writer Valentin
Shubin will be performed by Alexey Guskov.

The famous French writer and
Director Frederic Beigbeder will play a patron, who will be able to convince
Valentina Shubin and persuade him to continue the story. “The character of the writer, who
no longer wants to write, reminds me of Oblomov, and in the dialogue of my
his hero, French businessman and philanthropist Vincent,
like the scene of a telephone conversation with his wife: dear, now I have people, but
call me in an hour and we will fight,” says Frederick
Beigbeder.

Alexei Guskov and Frederic Beigbeder met on the set of the film
IDEAL in 2015 and since then continue to be friends. The prospect to be back
together on the set pleases them both.

“It’s revenge, jokes Beigbeder, —
Guskov starred in my film “the Ideal”, where he played a Russian oligarch, and now
he invited me to play in Russia, so I played magnate who
persuades him to write a book. But
seriously, I like this story, I’ve seen at the festival in Honfleur film
Krasovsky “Collector” and he impressed me, so I
happy agreed”.
