Nicolas Bersen is a Frenchman with Russian roots. He lives in Paris and works as a toy seller. Neither the mother nor the French bride - the daughter of the Parisian confectionery "king" - disapprove of Nicolas's extravagance, because the Sorbonne education allows him to make an excellent career in business. Before Christmas, Nicolas travels to Russia to learn more about her background. Who could have imagined that this trip would change his life? In Russia, he is going to get the adventure, family treasures, and ... true love.
Reviews
Best movie of this year hands down!
So much average
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
