In Sean Baker’s latest dramedy Anora, the sharp-witted Anora (Mikey Madison), an Uzbek-American sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her shot at a Cinderella story when she impulsively marries Vanya (Mark Eidelstein), the son of a Russian oligarch. What begins as an unlikely whirlwind romance quickly turns into a battle of wills, as Vanya's parents rush to New York, determined to annul the marriage and protect their family’s wealth and reputation.
True to Baker’s signature style, Anora blends biting humour with raw emotion, as Anora’s life teeters between comedic chaos and heart-wrenching vulnerability.
