“My Mannish Girl” (2023)

What if you're a politician embroiled in a high-stakes campaign, only to discover that your biggest threat isn’t your opponent—but your own wife?

Carla (Maya Bezhanska) is a captivating, charismatic woman who has spent 30 years by the side of her husband, Francois (Mikhail Bilalov), a rising political star. Their glamorous life in the heart of Paris seems unshakable—until one fateful day when Carla receives a letter that changes everything. The shocking revelation from her past lands like a bombshell, threatening to destroy Francois’ political career and their seemingly perfect marriage.

As if that weren’t enough, their adopted daughter Louisa (Teona Dimova) and her soon-to-be husband (Asen Dankov) bring their own set of complications to the already precarious situation.

Packed with razor-sharp dialogue, witty debates, and explosive confrontations, the story dives into the chaos a “small” secret can unleash. With zero political correctness and a flair for the dramatic, this is 90 minutes of comedy in the finest tradition of French farce.
