VERKA SERDUCHKA, a popular Ukrainian artist, presented a Ukrainian-language single Ye Propozytsiya for the first time in 20 years. The song was written specially for the premiere of family comedy The Grand Stroll on big screens and became the official soundtrack to the film produced by FILM.UA and Ukraina TV channel.
According to the film authors, the song was recorded specifically for The Grand Stroll to convey the idea and messages of the future comedy. Today the creative team will present a music video to romantic disco single Ye Propozytsia which uses shots from the film: we’ll see the Nalyvaychenko and Drahomanov families with children on the coveted clearing, avid and corrupt Khomyak with his assistant Gena and football players Pyatov and Konoplyanka who have kicked the ball also on the big screen.
”There is a proposal to wake up in the morning together...” - can a proposal get more romantic thatn that? It has everything: the reconciliation after a fight, the exciting plans for the night but, most importantly, the hope that everything will be well in the end! What else do you need in these challenging times?», says Andriy Danylko, artist

The artist, together with her incredible mom and the band, also managed to get filmed in The Grand Stroll: some scene fragments with their participation have already been showcased in the music video. How did VERKA SERDUCHKA appear on the clearing and in which circumstances did she meet the comedy’s characters? Find out in cinemas starting from February 24, 2022.
“For the first time we as film product makers worked on the project together with a famous music label MamaMusic. The cooperation turned out to be rather productive: we created a powerful collaboration. Besides, as many creative industry collaborations as possible is a strategic vector for FILM.UA, so we have yet another fascinating case in stock now. MamaMusic producing center is full of hits, both contemporary and classical, so our film will feature singles both from showbiz oldies like Iryna Bilyk and VERKA SERDUCHKA and from trendy young bands like KAZKA. We pay a lot of attention to the music background of our film comedies, and Andriy’s contribution to our film can hardly be overestimated. Ye Propozytsiya is a surefire hit!, said Iryna Kostyuk (FIILM.UA Group), film producer.
The lead roles in the film were played by showman Yuriy Tkach and actress Olena Kravets and also by Iryna Hatun and Andriy Isayenko. For Yuriy, Olena and Iryna the participation in The Grand Stroll became a real debut: the celebs played big roles in big cinema for the first time. Singer and composer Oleksiy Zavgorodniy (Pozitiv) also got his first big film role; he will appear onscreen together with actor Mykhaylo Zhonin.

SYNOPSIS:
The comedy plot unfolds around two totally different families: the Dragomanov working in culture and the Nalyvaychenko who are local businessmen. On a spring weekend they decide to go for a traditional open-air barbecue and by virtue of destiny arrive at the same clearing each family considers “theirs”. A quarrel starts between them, quickly transforming into a grotesque war for a barbecue spot. Unexpectedly, a third claimant for the territory arrives; this is a bribetaker on the run who hid his money in this same clearing and takes the youngest children from both families hostage, demanding to give back the money that disappeared from the hideout.
Tricks, frameups and oppositions, adventures, unexpected guests and crazy money, different views not only on barbecue marinade recipes but also on the “right ways to live”. This is a story telling us that no matter how different we are and how much we quarrel, we are always a united powerful force in the face of a common threat.
