About Lyubka
Fate brings two girls together at the very beginning of their lives. Seven-year-old Lyubka, growing up among street thieves, distracts the attention of a rich family at the train station, and at that moment a suitcase is stolen from them. After this incident, the "little robber" often imagines herself in the place of a well-dressed girl, with mom, dad and a beautiful doll in her arms.
Directed by Stanislav Mitin, Lyubka leans on a strong ensemble — Elena Lyadova, Aleksandr Sirin, Olga Onishchenko — 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 romance titles of 2009.
