About Diplomats Reluctantly
For the first time in his married life, People's Artist Ostapchuk had the opportunity to spend a vacation with his beloved wife, a film actress, in Crimea. But his wife was "kidnapped" on the doorstep of their home by a brazen film director. And instead of Crimea, Ostapchuk ended up in his native village of Lebedyanka, but without his wife...
Directed by Aleksey Mishurin, Diplomats Reluctantly leans on a strong ensemble — Roman Filippov, Mykola Shutko, Margarita Krinitsyna — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1978.
