Margarita

Margarita wakes up in her Moscow apartment realizing it's her thirtieth birthday. Instead of cake, she gets a call from her mother reminding her of an unfulfilled promise to get married, and a message from her boss about a surprise audit. In a desperate attempt to save face, Margarita hires the first man she finds on a dating app to pose as her fiancé minutes before an important meeting. He turns out to be a shy programmer named Alexey, who is himself hiding from overbearing relatives. Their improvised performance for colleagues and family spirals into a series of absurd situations where fake smiles gradually become genuine, and a forced partnership becomes a chance for something real. This 2025 comedy-drama explores social pressure, urban loneliness, and the unexpected turns life can take starting from your worst idea.
