DER RUSSE IST EINER, DER BIRKEN LIEBT

ALL RUSSIANS LOVE BIRCH TREES

Pola Beck’s second feature after her debut BREAKING HORIZONS adapts Olga Grjasnowa’s bestseller of the same name about searching for and finding love and one’s home during a tragicomic road trip.

Aylin Tezel appears as 27-year-old Masha, who is wild and loud, unapologetic and quick-witted, but, deep in her heart, she is directionless and flighty. The aspiring interpreter speaks five languages fluently, but her own story as a refugee is something she never talks about. When her boyfriend dies unexpectedly, Mascha drops everything and does what she always does, she forges ahead. Armed only with her passport, she jumps on a plane to Israel and leaves her previous life behind…
