The filming of Lucy started on July 28. The new series from Good Story Media is a psychological drama that looks at machine learning, explores the human bond with technology and asks what makes people who they are. Pyotr Vnukov, who previously worked on the dramas Sladkaya Zhizn and Zvonite DiCaprio!, is the project’s creative producer.

He tries to make her as human as possible. Lucy quickly becomes a lot more than just a smart assistant. She is the only one that Senya can trust with his thoughts and concerns.

The smart assistant helps Senya to overcome the public humiliation he experiences in front of his family, find the deputy’s son who was behind this humiliating episode and cope with the consequences of an irreparable act he commits.
