Two captains, three comrades, four musketeers... no, not like that. Four unemployed screenwriters contracted to work for a French television channel, which urgently needed an inexpensive domestic series. You can write whatever you want, the film will be shown late at night and no one will watch it anyway. No location shooting, a minimum of scenery and no more than six characters per episode. This is how the famous best-selling novel “Saga” by the French writer Tonino Benaquista begins. The scriptwriters hastily come up with a long-running plot: two families on the same landing. The authors have polar interests: detective fiction, science fiction, romantic love. They are trying their best, but even in their wildest dreams they could not imagine that their series “Saga” would break all popularity records, and the heroes would have completely different problems.
