Smart Mary

Masha is a spectacular blonde. But this is not enough for her lover's aristocratic family to accept her as their own. What can be done? Studying would take too long and it’s so boring. The resourceful Masha risks subjecting herself to an experiment: a chip is implanted in her body making her intellect shine with glory in any situation. However, her exquisite rival – her lover’s new fling – is not going to give up, and technology can fail at the most inappropriate moment.

Directed by Andrey Nikiforov, Smart Mary leans on a strong ensemble — Artyom Tkachenko, Olga Ryzhkova, Nastasya Samburskaya — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2022.
