Meanwhile, Katia, a Jewish woman from St. Petersburg, arrives in Sydney after answering an ad from an international matchmaking agency.

Very enjoyable
20 June 2002 | by (Sydney) – See all my reviews

Much, much better than Greencard. Great acting, lots of funny moments. Such a passionate race, made me drag my partner to a Russian restaurant not long afterwards! All Aussies out there, do support our film industry. We often churn out better stuff than Hollywood!
