The Silver Skates (Russian: Сере́бряные коньки́, romanized: Serebryanye konki) is a 2020 Russian epic period romantic adventure film directed by Michael Lockshin in his feature directorial debut, with a screenplay written by Roman Kantor, and produced by Petr Anurov. The film was initially inspired by Romeo and Juliet, and is based on the American novel Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge. The story is set in Saint Petersburg, capital of the Russian Empire, during the winter of 1899 in the late 19th - early 20th centuries. The city's ice-covered rivers and canals act as broad avenues, traversed on ice-skates and sleds, with markets and winter festivals on the ice. Social classes mix in this winter wonderland, and the courier Matvey crosses paths with the aristocrat Alisa is an intellectual girl, close to a noble family. The film stars Fedor Fedotov and Sofya Priss,[5] alongside Kirill Zaytsev, Yuri Borisov, Aleksei Guskov, Severija Janusauskaite, Yuri Kolokolnikov, Timofey Tribuntsev, and Alexandra Revenko in supporting roles.[6] Principal photography lasted from January to May 2019, the shots taking place in the cities of Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Oblast.[7]
The Silver Skates was chosen as the opening film of the 42nd Moscow International Film Festival, where it premiered on October 1, 2020. A limited theatrical release (due to the covid pandemic) was scheduled for December 10, 2020.[8][9] The film was also shown in IMAX cinemas.[10] The film collected more than 100 million rubles for the highest-grossing opening weekend of its film screening and brought the total amount of 490.1 million rubles to the show times, despite overcoming the epidemic quarantine in Russia, compared to a production budget of 500 million rubles.[2]
The rights to the film were acquired by Netflix on June 16, 2021. The Silver Skates is the first Russian film to be released on the platform in the Netflix Originals category.[11][12][13]
Plot[]
![]() |
On Christmas Eve, it takes place at the end of 1899 in the 19th century. Imperial Saint Petersburg's frozen rivers and canals transform the capital city into a fairytale-like wonderland, with bustling festivities on the ice.
Pure-hearted 18-year-old Matvey is an ice-skating courier of a local bakery, renowned for his speed. He is the fastest thanks to the special silver skates brought by his father, a lamplighter, many years ago from Amsterdam, Holland.
The tsarist ministers Nikolai Vyazemsky's daughter Alisa is interested in chemistry and the world of science, but is forced to hide her hobbies from her father, who, like many Russian aristocrats of that time, believes that a woman doesn’t need a higher education at all.
A few days before the dawn of the 20th century, Matvey loses his job as a deliveryman, because he could not deliver the order on time, as the street enroute was blocked for the Vyazemskys driving along it. At the same time, he discovers that his father has consumption. At the hospital the doctor tells Matvey that there is a chance of a costly cure for his father in Germany.
By chance, Matvey meets a group of pickpockets led by Alex and gets involved with the Ice Gang, all of whom are fascinated by Marx's ideas about expropriation. Although struggling financially and unable to afford his father's treatment, Matvey trains with the Ice Gang to learn how to pickpocket in order to pay for his father's treatment. The gang challenges Matvey to steal into the Vyazemsky mansion. Matvey climbs onto Alisa's balcony to break into a mysterious man, do not be afraid, where the two first meet.
After some time, Matvey steals two invitations to a ball on ice in the courtyard of the Saint Michael's Castle, where he goes with Alex, skillfully posing as aristocrats. There is also Alisa, who is introduced at the ball to the captain of the guard, Prince Arkadiy Trubetskoy, her betrothed. Alisa and Matvey meet again and make a deal: Alisa won't reveal Matvey's disguise, but he must give permission for Alisa to enter the Bestuzhev Courses as a student: according to the law of the time, this requires the consent of her father or husband. Although Dmitri Mendeleev himself endorses Alisa's candidacy at the entrance exam, the idea fails, because the consent must be submitted in writing, and Matvey cannot write.
Matvey's father, having learned where his son got the money, asks him to return it, because "dishonest money will not lead to good". Matvey quarrels with him and goes to live with Alex, who, together with his gang for the winter, huddles in the wreck of an old ship frozen into the ice on the coast of the Gulf of Finland.
On December 25th, Matvey, using the fact that Alisa's parents are at the ball, persuades her to go on a date with him. The two of them skate along the canals and finally realize that they are in love with each other. The next day, Alex's gang at the fair is attacked by a specially trained squad of guards led by the Prince, as the Ice Gang's actions have long attracted the attention of the city authorities. One guard manages to grab one of its members, while Matvey begins to pursue the Prince, but Alex comes to his aid, who shoots the Prince's leg with a pistol. Matvey decides to return home.
On the same evening, Alisa appears at the performance of the French magician Fourier, who takes her and the Prince onto the stage, and then sets fire to his hands and announces to those present that this is a harmless flame and it is the result of the fact that between Alisa and Arkadiy "there is a special energy, indicating that they are created for each other". Alisa considers this a stupid farce and explains Fourier's trick to the public. Her enraged father searches her room, and finds her scientific books.They are burned, and Alisa's governess, the prim Englishwoman Miss Jackson is fired. Miss Jackson had previously raised Alisa in strict etiquette, but now she admits that Alisa's trick made her herself admit that all these years she lived the ways others wanted her to, and not the way she wanted herself. In parting, Miss Jackson asks Alisa to promise her that she will fulfill her dream, and leaves her with sometimes "the most difficult step is to make the easiest decision".
Alisa runs away from home, taking the family jewels in order to buy a ticket to Paris with them, where she can study chemistry freely. She finds Matvey on the ship and asks him to come with her. But then, the ship is surrounded by the guard- the Prince had earlier arrested a gang member and tortured him to find the Ice Gang's location. When the Ice Gang ignores his demands to surrender, the Prince gives the order to set the ship on fire. Alex wants to use Alisa as a human shield and a guarantee that they will not be touched. Matvey refuses and he, Alisa, and Alex run to the upper deck, and the rest jump off the ship and are grabbed by the guards. Alex throws Matvey onto the lower deck, after which, holding Alisa at gunpoint, he demands the Prince release all the gang members.
The Prince lets them go, after which Alisa miraculously manages to be safely lowered from the board on a rope. But then Alex and Matvey see how the runaway gang members are again seized by the guards and realize that the Prince lied. Alex informs Matvey that he and Alisa were still not destined to be together: class inequality in the Russian Empire is such that a bourgeoise girl cannot connect her fate with a working class boy. He invites Matvey to jump off the bow of the ship, because the ice has already melted there and the guards will not shoot in there. But when Matvey jumps from the bow mast, Alex sees that the guardsmen have taken aim at him, and, to divert their attention to himself, shoots into the air, which causes the guardsmen to open fire on him and kill him. Matvey manages to crawl out of the hole, but he loses consciousness due to hypothermia. After some time, local fishermen find him and take him to the hospital, where he with difficulty recovers.
New Year is coming. Alisa, who was returned home, is mentally broken. She learns that Nikolai gave full consent to her marriage with Prince Arkadiy Trubetskoy. On the occasion of the New Year, Nikolai brings her to a masquerade ball at the Great Gatchina Palace. Matvey also enters there, disguised as a waiter. When he appears in front of Alisa, he shows her that he has two train tickets to Paris. The couple escapes straight from the ball, and skates on the ice back to St. Petersburg. But Matvey dropped one of the tickets, and the Prince, finding the ticket, realizes their plan and chases after them. At the Vitebsky railway station, discovering the missing ticket, Matvey persuades Alisa to get on the train, and he himself runs to the ticket offices to buy a new one, but then the Prince appears on the platform with the missing ticket. In the ensuing fight, Matvey manages to take away the ticket and he manages to jump into the already started train, but Arkadiy manages to finally shoot him. The bullet hits the silver skates instead, and Matvey and Alisa make it to Paris.
Four years later, Nikolai Vyazemsky comes to Dmitri Mendeleev and tells him he knows that he is in secret correspondence with his daughter. The proud Mendeleev tells him that Alisa has made great strides in the study of chemistry and in a year will receive an academic degree, which will allow her to work in all prestigious universities in the West. Realizing that this is the only way to return his daughter to her homeland, Vyazemsky asks the directorate of the university, where the Bestuzhev Courses are held, to amend the charter, thanks to which from now on women will be able to head the department. A year later, he watches Alisa teach a chemistry lesson in a class. The film ends with a scene in which Alisa, Matvey and their little son Petya, named after his late paternal grandfather, are ice skating together. [14]

Development[]
The source of inspiration for producer Petr Anurov was the book of the famous novel of the same name by the Dutch-American writer Mary Mapes Dodge (although the events described in the book take place in the Netherlands).
"These were very difficult half a year of my life, but the memories from the filming were only positive! We have a team of amazing professionals who are incredibly dedicated to the cinema, so even the weekly night shifts with frost and blizzard were surprisingly easy, in a creative atmosphere."
—directed by Michael Lockshin
The film was the feature debut of director Michael Lockshin, who had previously directed shorts and commercial advertising.
Work on the film began in December 2018 at Studio TriTe. Other companies behind the project include: Russian media giant Gazprom-Media's Central Partnership, GPM KIT Group of Companies by Rafael Minasbekyan, and Kinoslovo by Petr Anurov. The film was shot at the same time as the romantic musical sports film Ice 2, also released in 2020.[relevant?]
Since November 6, 2019, at the 40th American Film Market has been held in Santa Monica, California, Central Partnership has presented the exclusive poster for The Silver Skates, which is attended by leading Moscow film producers.[15][16][17]
Casting[]
Relatively unknown actors were cast in the main roles; the project was the first major film work for Fedotov and Priss, who are both from Saint Petersburg.
The actors had to go through sports training for the figure skating demands of the roles. Fedotov had been playing ice hockey from the age of three, but had to learn the different skating style during three months of intensive training. Almost all the stunts in the film were performed by Fedotov, an actor took part in the productions of the Bryantsev Youth Theatre. The film also involved understudies (professional skaters) and stuntmen.[18]
The company on the screen are the masters and actor of the star:[incomprehensible] Aleksei Guskov, Yuri Kolokolnikov, Severija Janusauskaite, Kirill Zaytsev, Yuri Borisov, Alexandra Revenko, Timofey Tribuntsev, Sergey Koltakov, and also stars of European cinema Denis Lavant[19] and Cathy Belton.
Filming[]
Vast amounts of scenery were created for the film, taken from a 10,000-square-metre (110,000 sq ft) warehouse and installed on special structures on the Great Neva by emergency response personnel.[20][21]
Skates based on historical models were custom made for the film, as well as carriages, sleighs and cars of the period.[22] Jewelry used in the film was rented from Garrard & Co and kept under guard.[23][24][25]
Principal photography was undertaken from January to May 2019. Locations in Saint Petersburg include the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Grand prince with a passage of the Saint Michael's Castle, Vitebsky railway station, and the Stieglitz Museum of Applied Arts. Scenes were also shot in Leningrad Oblast, such as at Great Gatchina Palace in the town of Gatchina. Interior scenes were filmed in Yusupov Palace, Marble Palace, Sheremetev Palace (Fountain House), as well as in the Vladimir Palace (House of Scientists).[22]
Most of the filming took place on the frozen rivers and canals of the bridges in Saint Petersburg, and comprise the largest collection of such footage. The film crew built and decorated ice fairs and skating rinks, and when the spring of 2019 began to come into its own,[clarification needed] a large-scale decoration of the frozen Moyka River was built in the pavilion to shoot action scenes on ice.[26]
Post-production[]
The computer graphics for the project will be handled by Alexander Gorokhov's CGF visual effects studio.[needs update] The volume of graphics will be impressive,[according to whom?] due to the period setting and fantastical elements.
About 200 specialists took part in the work on visual effects. CGF specialists filmed and scanned the center of St. Petersburg with a special camera so that in the scenes filmed in the pavilion against the background of a chroma key, real architectural objects could be built in post-production.
Controversy[]
The film was called "scandalous" by journalists because of the initiation of a case by Rosprirodnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources). The residents of St. Petersburg were initially surprised to see how public utilities cleared snow from the ice at the Moyka River,[27] Kryukov Canal and Griboyedov Canal were covered with blue wooden slabs and film studio agents appeared nearby.[28][29] The paint from these slabs allegedly penetrated the ice and then polluted the water.[according to whom?]

Anton Dolin in Meduza also noted the social subtext of the plot: "The central conflict of the Silver Skates - it seems for the first time in the domestic film mainstream - is associated with the liberation of the heroine from the bonds of patriarchy."[45] Some authors have compared The Silver Skates to Titanic (1997 film), noting plot parallels.[46]
