Margarita Gracheva: Is It Her Fault? The Real Story of Love and Brutality

This story seems like a nightmare, but it really happened. In December 2017, Dmitry Grachev, suspecting his wife and mother of his young sons of infidelity, took her to the woods and chopped off both of her arms. Doctors managed to save one of Margarita's hands; she now has a prosthetic for the other, with funds collected from around the world. Why did Grachev never admit his guilt? How is Rita living now, and will she be able to forget what happened to her? How to survive domestic violence and find the strength to move on and live happily? You will learn how the life of the main character unfolded after the tragedy, what incredible dreams came true, and what happiness came to her after the misfortune. The story of the 'Serpukhov Othello' instantly captured the media's attention, and a hunt for details began: what drove Grachev to take such action and is Rita as innocent as she wants to seem? The plot of the bestseller 'Happy Without Arms' served as the basis for the series 'Is It Her Fault?' on the online platform IVI. Director Sarik Andreasyan and a star-studded cast (Olga Kabo, Alexey Makarov, Anna Glauber, Maria Mironova) tried to convey the true story. A documentary novel about love, brutality, and new life – each page is written from the heart.
