A Ukrainian woman named Rita arrives in Petersburg to become a well-paid surrogate mother for a gay couple because she needs a large sum of money to pay for her daughter’s leukemia treatments. With admirable tenacity, the 30-something widow confronts the numerous complications which fate capriciously places in her path. Igor Voloshin’s latest feature film confirms his reputation as the least predictable filmmaker of his generation. After the postmodern collage of orgiastic images he presented in I Am, Voloshin here investigates life in Russia via classic melodrama. But beyond merely trying to touch us with the story of a mother fighting to save her daughter’s life, the director is interested in probing the state of mind of a woman caught in the unwelcoming environment of modern-day Russia. Her dogged determination is her only tool for achieving a goal for which she is willing to do anything. In implementing his vision, Voloshin relied on his star, Olga Simonova, whose uncommon performance highlights the originality of a generic scenario as seen through the filter of realism.

Deutsch Ein Sozialdrama über Hoffnung, Leben, Tod und Versöhnung. Am Anfang eine gewöhnliche und abgeleierte Geschichte über das schwere Leben in der Ukraine, welche damit droht, dass aus dem Publikum Emotionen herausgepresst werden (ein an Leukämie sterbendes Mädchen und seine Mutter, die für ihre Tochter alles macht). Dann kommt aber ein unerwartetes Krimi-Drama und der Übergang in ein exotisches Milieu. Dadurch gewinnt das Werk an Tiefe, zu der eine *künstlerische* Botschaft hinzugefügt wird. Stark und tief. ()
