Ball Gown

Ball Gown (2003) is a quiet Belarusian-Russian melodrama you can watch online on iFILM. Young Vika shares a flat with her ailing mother — the same flat her aunt Klaudia has long schemed to take over.

When cousin Mila moves in and starts laying down her own rules, shy Vika pushes back the only way she knows — silently, but without giving an inch. Things shift when a boy turns up at Mila's party and becomes the loyal friend Vika never had. A small, unhurried coming-of-age story about holding your ground without raising your voice, directed by Irina Volokh and Margarita Kasymova. Stream Ball Gown (2003) online on iFILM.
