Anora, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.
The dramedy follows Anora (Mikey Madison), an Uzbek-American stripper whose boss often sets her up with Russian-speaking clients. One night, she meets Vanya (Mark Eidelstein), the wealthy young son of a Russian oligarch who pays to make her his girlfriend for the week. Unexpectedly, the two fall in love and elope - but the fairytale is threatened when Vanya's parents find out.
"It’s a crowd-pleaser, funny and sexy and raucous, while also being startlingly wise and tender." - Slate
"With the sublime Mikey Madison bringing his brilliant screenplay to life, Sean Baker strikes pure gold in this supremely enjoyable and deceptively powerful masterpiece." - The Jam report
