Zoology

Casually mocked by her fellow zoo employees, beaten down by her domineering and superstitious mother, dowdy, fiftysomething clerical worker Natasha (Natalya Pavlenkova) didn’t have much going on in her life. That was until she found she was growing a prehensile tail...and as the intrigue of her handsome young doctor (Dmitriy Groshev) becomes more than professional, her new appendage becomes a source of self-confidence. Smartly satirical effort co-stars Irina Chipizhenko, Masha Tokareva. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Russian; Subtitles: English. In Russian with English subtitles.
