This drama is about an immigrant community that lives in the middle of an artist’s dream — Hollywood. One community is woven of multiple ethnic groups that are connected by mutual history and one language — Russian. Our story is usually told from the perspective of westerners — we all look the same, we are bros with the guns, or in the best case scenario — we are gangsters on motorcycles. But what if we are not that? We are here to change the narrative and break the mold of stereotypes. Russians, Ukrainians, Kazakhstanis, Belarusians, Georgians, Uzbeks all stick together just like the Hispanic community has been doing that for generations, working towards finding strength in supporting and uplifting each other. Even in the toughest of situations. The story of Misha is a single day pulled out of his calendar more than looking at someone’s struggle it is a story of empathy, resilience, and hope. The story is about a hopeful artist. The most frequent type of young immigrant from post-Soviet countries. The story is based on the real stories of our community that is hardly seen on screen.
