I went into this movie not knowing what to expect. What I got was a relatively normal story, girl meets boy who is not what he seems (think Twilight as an example). However saying that does it little justice, yes the story was basic but what made it different however was the Russian aspect of the movie. Certain areas bleed certain stories and this one seems written perfectly for that culture. What was a basic story had culture plastered all over it making it a great watch. The actress who played Miroslava was gorgeous in her role, playing the character very well and being accompanied well by the main actor.
The only thing I will say though is watch the movie in the original Russian, there is something about the girls voice in the English dubbed version on the DVD that really grated me.
