SCHOOL OF SEDUCTION

NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE Three modern Cinderellas look for higher social status, security and happiness by learning the art of seduction in patriarchal post-communist Russia. Lida wants her lover to leave his family and marry her, Vika feels trapped in her relationship and is desperate to find passion again, while Diana dreams of marrying a rich man who will buy her an apartment. Director Alina Rudnitskaya crafts a sharp and tragicomic longitudinal portrait of a society in flux.
