Victoria Chernova lives up to a certain point, as befits a beautiful bird in a golden cage – without thinking much about anything. She has an exemplary husband and child, a beautiful and rich house, cheerful and successful girlfriends. And there is not a single wrinkle on the forehead, because all the problems have been solved for years to come. But suddenly it turns out that fate gave her all this once in advance. Moreover, now Victoria must repay this debt: so, one evening her husband unexpectedly announces that he has found another... That same evening, Vika is forced to start a new life: without money, with a child and a small suitcase of things, she moves to live with her son's nanny. And now she needs to earn at least some food somehow… Victoria is forced to get a job in an ordinary supermarket. Unexpectedly for herself, she will suddenly make a career in it. And he learns the real price of everything and everything: money, meanness, and love.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
