The leader of the band "Hands Up!" Sergey Zhukov wrote 16 songs for the fictional band

"Many times, and it was always Grisha's initiative, we decided not to act together. He was saying: "I don't want to be associated with you." More than once, and not twice, we refused joint projects when we were offered to play father and son, although I told Grisha: "Come on! It's interesting! It will be part of our biography." And for the first time, when Grigory agreed, it was here, at the Cornflowers," Igor Vernik said.

The series, which will premiere online on April 10 in an online cinema Wink.ru , tells about the revival of the Cornflowers ensemble, which was popular in Soviet times. A wealthy woman promises to bequeath a multimillion-dollar fortune to her daughters and grandson if they find the members of the group that broke up more than forty years ago and persuade them to perform on December 31 on a federal TV channel.

"For the younger generation, there is this crazy drive, daring, happy, which youth is filled with. For the elder, it is an understanding that life is wonderful at any age," said Wernick Sr.

Dmitry Kharatyan, Irina Rozanova, Nikolai Dobrynin, Vladislav Vetrov, and Anna Kotova also starred in the project. The composer was Sergey Zhukov.
