Lina

About the Job

Day Player/Supporting. Pays $200/D. 30s. Tragic Victim / The Deceased Mother and victim of sustained domestic abuse. Mom of Irina and Sasha, murdered by her husband Ivan in a brutal act of domestic violence witnessed by her young daughters. She appears only in flashback, where her final act is hiding her children under a table and instructing Irina to protect Sasha before Ivan beats her to death with a liquor bottle. Her murder serves as the foundational trauma for both sisters, directly motivating Irina's vow to protect Sasha forever and her decades-long rise to power as the Mafia Queen. Lina has no intimate scenes beyond her loving relationship with her children, and her death is the most graphically violent scene in the narrative. She never appears in the present timeline, but her memory haunts every major decision Irina makes and every vulnerability Sasha carries. ***** STUNT Coordinator will present on set: Ivan slaps Lina across the face when she pleads with him to stop drinking. He grabs her by the hair in a violent grip. He smashes a bottle over her head with brutal force.*****
