The new television series Time to Go to the Factory, directed by Vasily Sviridov, premiered on August 31 on the TNT channel and the Premier streaming service. The show tells the story of Vadim, a young and successful Moscow investor who radically changes his lifestyle for his girlfriend.
In order to earn the respect of his girlfriend Tanya's father, Igor Romanovich, Vadim leaves his career behind and takes a manual job at a metallurgical plant in the Urals. Igor Romanovich serves as a stern metallurgical foreman at the factory, while Vadim has never previously held even a woodworking plane in his hands.
TNT is a major commercial television network in Russia, while Premier operates as a digital video streaming service providing subscriber content. The Ural mountain region is widely recognized as an industrial base for metal working and manufacturing enterprises. A hand plane is a basic manual tool used in carpentry to shape and smooth wood surfaces.
The project is directed by Vasily Sviridov, whose previous directing credits include the comedy feature film Not Alone at Home. The current season marks his latest television effort on major Russian broadcasting platforms.
