Lukas Moodysson's eagerly awaited third feature, following the hugely successful 2001 hit Together and his moving debut Show Me Love, is a touching and tender insight into the life of Lilya (Oksana Akinshina) who lives in a poor suburb somewhere in the former Soviet Union.

Lilya's mother has emigrated to the States and she is waiting to be sent for. After a while it becomes clear that she has been abandoned. Left alone and broke Lilya strikes up a friendship with local 11 year old boy, Volodya (Artiom Bogucharskij), himself and outcast. Through their similar circumstances they fantasise of a life elsewhere. Moodysson's award winning script is observant of the hopes and dreams of Lilya and Volodya but is realistic about the world they live in. It is this realist approach that has drawn comparisons between Moodysson and some of the classic realist directors including Truffaut, Bresson and Ken Loach.
