In stark contrast to most films made immediately after the Russian Revolution, The Cigarette Girl of Mosselprom is an endearing rom com filled with likeable characters and some self-effacing insights into the filmmaking process.
At the centre of the film is cigarette seller Zina (played by the future Cannes award-winning director Yuliya Solntseva) and the love triangles she becomes entangled in after she is talent-spotted to become an actress.
