One evening, two girls from Liverpool are
in a bar and pick up two sailors, who just
disembarked from a Russian ship, and
spend the night with them. The following
day the boat is set to leave again, but
Elaine and Peter, despite speaking different
languages, fall in love. The only thing to do
is to write to Brezhnev. Dynamic dialogues,
vitality, comedy, all in a little metropolitan
and impossible love story
