Winter cherry. A 1985 movie. Directed by Igor Maslennikov. I really like this movie. Now I smile when I remember how I scolded the heroine of Elena Safonova when she returned to the hero Vitaly Solomin. At that moment, when the heroine was taken away with serious intention, the hero of Kalnyns. You can’t command your heart, but not to the same degree! And then again, "Bye, baby." Are women in our country so sacrificial and so dislike themselves? And the music, and the dialogue - everything in the film is very competent and cleverly shown. Thank you, director. #ElenaSafonova#NinaRuslanova#LarisaUdovichenko#VitalySolomin#IvarKalnynsh#Winter Cherry1985

Elena Safonova is often called an actress a mystery. She does not often go on the set, at the very beginning of her creative biography left the theater, does not participate in TV shows, avoids journalists and does not pamper her fans with outings. But despite such a rather closed lifestyle, it is still at the peak of popularity. She, as before remembered by the directors, called to shoot, although much less than I would like the filmography of the actress has more than a dozen roles, but the popularity of Elena Safonova came after the main role in the film “Winter Cherry”.

Filming in France played an important role in the fate of Safonova. After all, she met the actor Samuel Labart, whom she later married. In 1993, his son Alexander was born.

However, instead of the long-awaited family happiness came constant scandals. Labart wanted his wife to stop acting and devote herself to the family. Elena herself already missed her homeland, and the refusal to work scared her at all. In the end, she decided not to choose a marriage, but a career.

The unpleasant discovery was that local laws do not allow a foreign mother to take a child born in France until the age of majority.

The trials did not produce the desired result. Safonova had to return to Russia with her son Ivan. Since then, she has lived in two countries to see her youngest son.
