Despite not being noticed by distributors, helmer Angelina Nikonova and for that matter, actress-writer Olga Dykhovichnaya rocked cinephilia foundations with the heavily traveled Twilight Portrait. For her sophomore feature, Nikonova creatively pairs off with Dykhovichnaya again, but this time is working with what could be considered some comedy noir elements on the not so fun joys of immigration and working in the English-language instead of Russian.
