Sinekatalog’s take
A Russian romantic comedy-drama about a single woman nearing middle age who works at a chicken factory, cares for her grandfather and wants to marry. Warm and wry, it favors humane humor over glamour. Charming for fans of small-scale Russian comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
