This is a wonderful modern tragicomedy about destiny as seen through the interweaving lives of its three central characters: ‘Masha’, ‘Kostya’ and ‘Margarita’. The inscrutability of love and the events that drive our fate provide the driving force of this clever and funny film, which fizzes with an energy that director Anna Melikyan brings to all of her films; Star propelled her into Variety’s Top 10 directors to watch; it also unearthed a young star in Georgian actress, Tina Dalakishvili, who will be in Kilkenny to present the film.
