Plot
The fanciful tale of an introverted little girl who grows up believing she has the power to make wishes come true. She must reconcile this belief with reality when, as a young woman, she journeys to Moscow and grapples with love, modernity and materialism.
Sinekatalog’s take
A whimsical fantasy-comedy about a girl who believes she can grant wishes and a young woman navigating modern Moscow. Colorful, quirky and lightly satirical. A fit for viewers who enjoy fairy-tale-like urban stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
