Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Near the walls of the Kremlin, a real duel unfolds between two former friends over a girl of exceptional beauty and supernatural powers named Olesya.... But who is Olesya?... a 16-year-old feeble-minded girl, the week-long wife, a blessed fool with superpowers, able to light up lamps and electrocute in the bedroom. She is a literary character living in 21st century Moscow, unaware of her own beauty and power. For the two young and rich playboys, Olesya's 'spicy make-up' takes on a whole new meaning. But what can this pretentious duel change in an iPhone-world full of infidelity, vanity, and cruelty?

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
