Luke Moodyson's eagerly awaited third feature, following his hugely successful hit Together and his moving debut Show Me Love, is a touching and tender insight into the life of Lilya who lives in a poor suburb somewhere in the former Soviet Union. Lilya's mother has emigrated to the States, and Lilya is waiting for her mother to send for her. After some time, Lilya realises she has been abandoned. Left alone and broke Lilya strikes up a friendship with local 11 year old boy, Volodya, himself an outcast. Though their similar circumstances they fantasise of a life elsewhere. Moodysson's award winning script is observant, but is realistic about the world they live in. It is this realist approach that has drawn comparisons between Moodysson and some of the classic realist directors including Truffaut, Bresson and Ken Loch.
