Mimochka

It is time to become the confident Marya Ilyinichna, rather than the naive Mimochka! Poor Mimi does not belong to herself. Mama controls her every step: what to wear, what books to read, who to communicate with, and who not to. Meanwhile, Papa chooses the boarding school where she must study, as well as the fiancé for whom Mimi will be betrothed. Such a deceitful high society dictates fashion and forces Mimochka to enjoy family life with a dull elderly husband. And Mimochka truly tries. She tries to be a model wife, a caring mother, a true lady. Yet her soul feels empty. But suddenly, a trip to the spa occurs, where Mimi finally tastes freedom. And now she is ready to challenge society. «Mimochka» – is a brilliant example of Russian satire, written long before Teffi and Mikhail Zoshchenko, — sharp, funny, yet harmless.
