Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film satirizes Russia's post-Soviet glamour obsession, where provincial women view Moscow modeling as literal escape from economic dead ends.
Svetlana Ustinova based Liza's physicality on real Russian Instagram models who documented their 'glamorous' lives while actually struggling. The caviar-eating scene was improvised.
