Main Cast: Danila Kozlovsky, Liza Boyarskaya, Vladimir Seleznev, Igor Voynarovsky, Natalya Anisimova
Marking his producing debut, the wonderfully gifted Danila Kozlovsky stars in this terrific oddball romantic comedy, receiving its world premiere in Kilkenny. Kozlovsky plays stand-up comedian Nikita Kolesnikov who is convinced that he has finally met his true love at a variety night; unfortunately it turns out the feelings are not reciprocated and the movie charts the extraordinary lengths to which he goes to win her heart. Plenty of unexpected twists and turns in this fast paced comedy. Fabulous supporting work too from Liza Boyarskaya, Vladimir Seleznev, Natalya Anisimova and Igor Voynarovsky. One of this year’s must-sees.
