It in Russian is set in the picturesque capitals
of Paris and Moscow. While vacationing in Paris, Andrew meets
and falls in love with Daria, a young Russian girl. He ends up
following her to Russia, a country that, much like Chicago in
the 1930's, is a dangerous environment in political turmoil. Destiny
takes its own course, and Andrew and Daria get involved in a hurricane
of events surrounding Daria’s father, Raf, a rich Russian
mafia oligarch. Faye Dunaway plays the part of Jacqueline, the
elegant Parisian matchmaker who puts the two together.
