School of Seduction

Documentary Screen

Director: Alina Rudnitskaya

Denmark / 2019 / 97´

At the age of 30, everyone wants the same: safety, high social status and eternal happiness. In modern Russia, where patriarchy reigns, these desires are not easy to fulfill. But the heroines of the film take matters into their own hands and decide to master the art of seducing man — preferably a rich one. Seven years of watching them add up to a tragicomedy about gender roles and femininity in Putin’s Russia.
