The Marriage of Balzaminov
The Russian Comedy Farce!
Directed by Konstantin Voinov
Produced by Mosfilm
A lighthearted Russian farce about a hapless dreamer and his mother scheming to marry him off to wealth, built on comic fantasy sequences and family entanglement.
Moscow, XIX century. A small official Misha Balzaminov lives in a small house. He, like his mother, sees his happiness in marrying a rich bride. Misha images in dreams and fantasies that he is a general or even a king — rich and domineering. In reality, poor Balzaminov is haunted by setbacks.
