Australia has Muriel; the U.K., Bridget Jones. Now Russia has a charming, marriage-obsessed heroine of its own. Lilly is a 30-something zaftig redhead from the provinces. She toils long hours in a poultry slaughterhouse and cares for her infirm grandfather. Her goal in life is to acquire a husband--something which she naively imagines will end her loneliness and perhaps lead to happily ever after. Although there aren′t many eligible bachelors in her small town, Lilly pins her hopes on a series of blind dates that she meets in a hotel managed by her aunt. Unfortunately, these encounters never lead anywhere, but a girl can dream... and try on wedding gowns. At a piano recital, Lilly falls hard for Boris Ginsburg, the handsome but seemingly unobtainable concert pianist. Her eamest quest to ignite his ardor sparks some unpredictable and funny results. Larisa Sadilova, one of Russia′s few female writer-directors, depicts the everyday struggle of an ordinary woman with humor and humanity. This appealing comic drama captured a prestigious Tiger Award at the 2003 Rotterdam Film Festival.
