Ivan Kuzmich Podkolyosin has it all. The yuppie job, the designer clothes, the hip friends..he couldn't ask for anything more, right? Wrong. Somehow, somewhere along the way (and even he doesn't understand where or when) life lost its sparkle. It's not that he's exactly unhappy, it's just that all the things that used to give him such a kick now just seem , well dull. After extensive soulsearching (which admittedly may have looked, to an outsider, like lots of lying around the sofa, smoking) he's reluctantly reached the uncomfortable conclusion that what is missing is someone to share his life, a soulmate. Yes, to his immense surprise Podkolyosin finds himself in search of a wife. And he needs help..he needs an ally..he needs the 19th century's answer to computer dating, Fyokla Ivanovna. Running time: 1hr 30mins. Suitable for ages 14+
