What happens

«Жизнь, которой не было» — российская драма телесериала режиссёра Леонида Мазора 2008 года с Владимиром Жеребцовым в главной роли. Сериал снят по мотивам американский романа Теодора Драйзера «Американская трагедия», действие перенесено в современную Россию: Мы, конечно, адаптировали историю. Но, честно говоря, субъективные мотивации героев Драйзера очень сходны с мотивациями сегодняшней российской молодежи. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
