A military doctor, Maria Frolova experiences a tense relationship with her partner, Lieutenant-Colonel Louis-Philippe Savard (Vincent-Guillaume Otis). Victoria Diamond tells us that the young woman, recently installed on the Kanawata military base, is not at the end of her troubles. “In the coming weeks, Maria will be torn between her professional responsibilities and her family life. She will have to face great trials. What’s coming for her looks incredible,” she confides.
Despite everything, the mother will do her best to preserve her relationships with her husband and her son, Ivan (Alfred Poirier). “Maria will try to fill the void that Ivan is experiencing, but it won't be easy. Her boyfriend and her son are less and less transparent with her. However, she will continue to try to understand what is happening in Louis-Philippe’s life.”

The character of Maria, who is of Russian origin, will find herself in the spotlight since in WeaponsRussia threatens to invade Canada. “Even if she was born in Quebec, Maria’s Russian origins will be at the heart of certain issues. People will even go so far as to doubt his allegiance to the Canadian Forces.”
A MARKET FILMING EXPERIENCE
Furthermore, Victoria invites viewers to watch IXE-13 and the race for uraniumwhich is available on illico+. In this period series, the young woman plays Pauline, the wife of the spy Victor Laporte, played by Vincent Leclerc. “It has always been a dream for me to play in a period series, and I was able to realize it on the set of this series, which takes place in 1945, in Montreal. For the moment, there is no question thatIXE-13 have a second season.”
AN ATYPICAL COURSE
Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Victoria can boast of an extraordinary professional background. “I grew up in a family of artists. My parents are music producers. I started doing ballet at a very young age. At the age of nine, I landed my first roles as an actress and began performing in theater. It was in 2006 that I came to settle in Montreal to improve my skills in contemporary dance. At that time, a director offered me a role in a French play. Over time, I left dancing for acting and put down roots in Montreal,” underlines the actress, who tells us that she is single.
BEAUTIFUL PROJECTS IN ENGLISH
While she has been playing roles on television in Quebec since 2015, Victoria Diamond also has a successful English-speaking career. “Last year, I had the chance to go to Colorado to film the American thriller The Killing Moondirected by Daniel Bogran. This film tells the story of a couple on vacation in a luxury chalet whose stay is disrupted by a stranger, who comes knocking on their door in the middle of the night. This film is expected to be released in 2025. Additionally, I am starring in the TV movie Lethal Lookalike: The Viktoria Nasyrova Storywhich is available in the United States on the Tubi platform. In this production, I play the title role of Russian Viktoria Nasyrova, a wicked and manipulative woman who really existed and who tried to poison a person who looked like her in order to steal their identity. For the moment, I don't know when this project will be released in Canada. One thing is certain, there are lots of interesting things coming,” she concludes.
