The popularity of the film of Peter Todorovsky “intergirl”, after his release, beat all records. The picture with Elena Yakovleva starring gladly invited to film festivals from Cannes to Tokyo.

When I Peter Efimovich came in to the room for some questions, noticed that he had around the tables, everything was plastered with these Japanese prostitutes.
