Charismatic Anora “Ani” Mikheeva lives in Brooklyn and works as a stripper. When Ani meets Ivan – the young, party-loving son of a rich Russian oligarch – Ivan is smitten. He starts paying Ani to become his live-in partner. After a whirlwind few weeks of excess, they get married in Vegas. Everything changes when Ivan’s parents find out and send henchmen to arrange an annulment. Things swiftly turn chaotic, and Ani finds herself dragged along on a bumbling chase across New York City.

The Palme d’Or-winning Anora is the uproarious new comedy-drama from acclaimed filmmaker Sean Baker (The Florida Project). The film mixes farce and sharp class commentary to giddy effect – solidified by Mikey Madison’s magnetic lead performance.
