'Three Musketeers' is a Ukrainian-Russian New Year's musical film starring Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Anna Ardova, Ruslana Pysanka and Alyona Sviridova. It is based on the novel of the same name by Alexandre Dumas. The comedy was released on December 31, 2004, on Russia-1 (Russia) and [http://inter.ua/ Inter] (Ukraine).
Plot
A young and determined d'Artagnan goes to Paris to pursue a career as a musketeer in the Royal Regiment. There he meets Athos, Portos and Aramis, with whom he later forms a warm friendship. Captain of the Women's Regiment De Treville, of course, in such an environment weaves intrigue and gossip. In the French capital d'Artagnan finds his first love, Constance Bonassier. Queen Anne of Austria constantly presses King Louis XIII of France to lead a healthy lifestyle, forcing himto do one or another sport. The King, being of a poetic nature who prefers a bohemian way of life, opposes this in every possible way. The Queen then embarks on an affair with Lord Buckingham. The main enemy of all the heroes is the insidious Cardinal Madame Richelieu.
The authors of this new version of "The Three Musketeers" dared to tell a classic story and cast Dumas in a completely unexpected way. The three musketeers were made women, and the musketeer regiment was made female. Dartaniana (Volodymyr Zelenskyy) no longer associates with the musketeers' male friendship, but rather the relationship of older sisters and mentors.
