Description: Masha dreams of becoming one of the great European auteurs. But first she must escape the drudgery of her daily existence: a father who drinks, a dull and empty city, the fear of getting stuck in a life she doesnt want. So as soon as she is old enough she heads to the big city to claim her spot alongside the great filmmakers of the day. But she is unprepared for the sacrifices she must make to succeed. Lovers come and go  the college teacher, the cameraman, the renowned German actor  but Masha must decide whether she is prepared to forsake her happiness for her art: how far is she willing to go? -- amazon.com
