Smilehood Media Presenting Russian Series at NATPE

BUENOS AIRES: Demons, a miniseries based on a classic novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, is one of three new Russian titles that Smilehood Media is presenting next week at NATPE.

Produced by Russia’s RTR, the 4×1-hour series is a psychological thriller set in the 1870s. It follows two young men who return to their small town after living in the big city, sowing chaos and despair wherever they go.

Also from RTR is Janissary (La cosaca), a 115×44-minute novela about a young Cossack woman who joins the harem of a sultan’s son. Another title is En las orillas del Don, a love story set during World War I based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Mikhail Sholokhov.
