Piter FM

Your hapiness is always near you. You probably meet it like three times a day and don't recognize that. That's what the plot is. My question goes further: are you sure you don't have it already? Not feeling alright with your previous choices is probably more about you than about correctness of those choices. Nothing is guaranteed in this world, so why not just accept whatever you have?

Masha is a radio DJ who works with Piter FM. She is about to get married. Maksim is an architect who is having to work as a handyman but has been offered a job as an architect in Germany. He is about to go to Germany. One day, as fate would have it, while crossing the road Masha drops her mobile phone and Maksim picks it up. With Masha and Maksim we take a trip into their funny and enchanting worlds. This movie makes you laugh and keeps you hooked until the very last minute, in an "Amelie"-like manner. This is Oksana Bychkova's first movie and make a note of this name. She is a director we must watch out for! Brilliant, Imaginative and Entertaining!

This is a romantic comedy about two people getting to know each other because of a lost mobile phone.

The plot is not new at all, and is quite predictable. The two characters face troubles in their love lives, talk to each other on the phone, and guess what happens! What it lacks in plot, it makes up in other ways. The urban landscape of St Petersburg is presented in a very attractive way. the feel of the film is upbeat, and happy. It's like having a sugar coating on an old story, making an otherwise bland story more attractive. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it is a pleasant entertainment if you have nothing to do.

Someone explain to these two, that the phones they hold in their hands, can also be used to call people if someone is late for an appointment.

This is a very light-hearted movie. The plot and characters are rather predictable, but it leaves a good impression, at least it did for me. For some reason, probably because of the camera work and the story, I had an impression that I was watching a Russian version of "Amelie". I think I enjoyed the beautiful St. Petersburg's scenery and minor characters (like Vladimir Mashkov playing a strange man in a one-minute episode) than the main story. Some small episodes are quite funny. For example, a policeman stops than main hero (Maxim) to check documents and asks among other things: "Firearms? Illegal drugs?" "No, thanks," Maxim replies. This movie shows a different Russia from what you may be used to. Good movie to watch with a date.
