Frenchman

Frenchman (2004) is a gentle romantic comedy by Vera Storozheva, available to watch online on iFILM. A French baron, Paul, leaves his estate near Paris for a sleepy Russian town to meet his pen-pal, with no clue who actually wrote the letters.

They came from Ania, a modest translator and Moscow State University graduate who moved back to her provincial backwater. She had penned them on behalf of her friend Irina, so the baron's New Year arrival throws everyone's plans into happy chaos. The cast features Maria Golubkina, Mikhail Efremov, Garik Sukachev, Nina Ruslanova and Pavel Derevyanko. A warm tale about a white lie and love landing at the wrong address.
