Marvelous!

Normally, I don't enjoy writing reviews for films I really like. I often feel I won't do justice to the film with my words, and I also don't fancy reviews that are just full of praise from start to finish. I typically prefer discussing films that I like but also have their flaws. However, seeing no positive reviews for this film on IMDB was unacceptable to me. So, I felt obligated to write a review.

I was in the mood for a Russian film, and when I saw the beautiful girls in the lead roles, I started watching without even checking the plot or genre.

What I encountered was a production of much higher quality than I expected.

Olya (Marina Vasileva), one of the two friends with daddy issues, has come to meet her father whom she has never seen before. She is nervous. Sasha (Aleksandra Bortich) pretends to be Olya to help her friend.

There are so many details about the film that I like, and I'm not intending to inflate the review by listing them one by one.

In conclusion, this production is extremely high-quality and intelligently written. It doesn't bore you with its runtime of less than 90 minutes; it flows smoothly. It's almost a lesson to all other films.

Mostly poignant, occasionally heartwarming, thought-provoking, and making my night enjoyable, I sincerely thank the director and writers, the cast, and all those involved in this dramatic film.
