The beginning of the twentieth century has marked by the birth of a new genius of the stage and the film set – Mykola Yakovchenko. He had only to appear on stage, and the audience immediately burst out laughing. His beautiful wife Tetiana used an umbrella to disperse the admirers of Mykola. But his happy family life with Tetiana and two daughters ended unexpectedly and tragically. Closer to the end of his artistic career, Yakovchanko was offered new and new roles in the films, but the theater retired him. Find out about the story of the tragic fate of the genius of laughter – in the documentary series “The Game of Fate” by VIATEL Studio narrated by Natalka Sopit.
