Netflix have announced its next Russian series ‘Nothing Special’. This drama is about a young actor Lyokha and his volunteer work at a charity that supports people with disabilities. Getting closer to the group he is assigned, the hero finds a common language with them and discovers answers to his questions, helping people close to him to look at life from another perspective.

“Nothing Special is a beautiful story, so simple and yet so complex. It is told with incredible sensitivity and with an even greater sense of humor. This is a touching narrative  relating how deep connections can appear if we allow ourselves the chance to get to know each other. We were charmed from the very start and trust the story will equally appeal to our Russian members” Anna Nagler, Director, Local Language Originals, CEE and Russia commented.
“I am very pleased that it is this story that established my directorial debut. It is full of emotion, acceptance, and love. Each character is knitted with contradictions both in thoughts and actions. And there is nothing special about it” Ilya Malanin, director commented.
“We are glad that once again Netflix enables us to share a Russian story with the whole world. Together with highly professional actors such as Yura Borisov and Daria Melnikova, newer talents – some of whom have disabilities – made this project really special. Their talent and charisma help us share a heartwarming, sympathetic story. It leaves nobody indifferent” Valeriy Fedorovich and Evgeniy Nikishov, producers commented.
