Film Overview

Citizen Mavzik is a Russian feature film made in South Florida by an international team of filmmakers and actors. It's a romantic comedy about the everyday life of a quirky Russian family in Miami, Florida.

Mavzik, an eccentric, retired Russian colonel, attempts to marry his sons off to "proper" girls of his choosing. But living in the sunny and exotic South Florida, the two young men have other ideas. When they both unwittingly begin to date the same attractive girl-next-door, Mavzik's plans are thrown into chaos. At the same time, he must come to terms with becoming a US citizen.

Apart from the beautiful cinematography and a rich musical soundtrack, the project is unique in its ability to combine the best aspects of European and Western filmmaking into a single movie. Russian-style acting and humor are blended into fast-paced American story structure to create a film that is percieved on different levels by audiences from different cultures, but is funny to all.
