1991 · 94 min

A slow, uneasy drama that starts as a fairy tale and quietly curdles into something uncomfortable and sad.

Overview
When intoxicated by alcohol, Dasha inexplicably finds herself in the bed of a wealthy foreigner from a luxurious restaurant, where she and her friends visited the day before. The man offers the girl a marriage proposal. It seems that everything is set for a happy family life - a lot of money, a beautiful, intelligent and loving spouse, expensive clothes. However, for life this is not all that is needed.
