Film Description:
"'Love knows no boundaries,' proclaims an international dating website. People can now search for their soul mates around the world. In this poignant but fast-paced comedy of errors, mismatched expectations and mutual exploitation, a group of middle-aged Western men seek beautiful Ukrainian brides on a 10-day tour organized by AnastasiaDate.com. While some men appear ready to exploit younger women in an impoverished country and blame feminism for their inability to attract 'traditional' mates, many are truly lonely and looking to heal from past heartbreaks. Structured in an increasingly frenetic day-by-day countdown, the men start out feeling 'like kids in a candy store' when introduced to gorgeous young women and translators at a beauty pageant event. But as the clock keeps ticking, their too-good-to-be-true dreams clash with the fact that the romance tour is primarily a business trafficking in unrealistic desires."

Film Description:
"Modern day dating can be a real headache. For men with little experience or those hurt by an ugly divorce, the idea of looking for a wife in a foreign country, known for its solid family values, might seem like a viable solution... Odessa, Ukraine: full of rich culture, beautiful architecture, pulsating discos, and busloads of lonely middle-aged Western guys looking to land hot 20-year-old brides. Burned by women back home, guys from Minnesota to Marseilles are heading East—but can they tell the difference between the girl of their dreams and the gold diggers? This seductive documentary follows a dozen delightfully awkward guys through a comedy of cultural misconceptions on a 10-day hunt for true love."
