In Moscow at the Karo cinema. In October, the social premiere of the film “Dance, Herring!” by Alexandra Lupashko took place. The film was presented by actors Pavel Maikov, Natalya Pavlenkova, Alexandra Babaskina, Ilya Antonenko, as well as director Alexandra Lupashko, screenwriter Tatyana Zagday, cameraman Anastasia Trofimova and others. Sasha Bortich, who played the lead role, was unable to attend the event.
Actor Pavel Maikov, who once became famous for his role as Bee in “The Brigade”, appeared at the premiere alone, without his wife Maria Saffo. 48-year-old Pavel decided not to bother and came in a normal T-shirt, cardigan and jacket. Maikov, of course, no longer seemed as fresh and cheerful as he hero of “The Brigade.” However, time forgives no one. By the way, in the movie “Dance, Herring!” Maikov had a very unusual role. He played a corpse.
“I was glad to be a corpse before I became a corpse, Sasha Lupashko gave me this opportunity, thank you very much. It all started when a director called me, she asked me to meet her and she told me that she didn’t see anyone in this role except me. At that moment I softened a little and immediately agreed. After all, being a talking dead person is fun. The script wasn’t bad. And I thought it would be a good film,” said Pavel Maikov.

According to the plot, the strong and independent Zhanna (Alexandra Bortich) long ago moved to Moscow, leaving behind her hometown and her unfortunate father (Pavel Maykov), who once abandoned her family. However, her unexpected death forces her to return to organize a funeral. One problem: the dead father suddenly “resurrected”, he continues calling his daughter “herring” as he did 20 years ago and wants to spend their last day together until her death…
