Premiere: ‘My Widow’s Husband’

Mar 19, 2010 at 00:31 | Alexandra Matoshko
Eccentric billionaire Albert Castandi (Russian actor and TV host Dmitry Nagiyev) is up to his ears in debts.

To avoid paying up, he fakes his own death, stages a funeral and bequeaths all his assets to the future husband of his young and beautiful wife, Anna, played by Kamaliya – the Ukrainian actress, pop singer and wife of Kyiv Post publisher Mohammad Zahoor.

However, his clever plan doesn’t exactly work and Anna soon finds herself in lots of trouble. She has to repulse the intrigues of a florist-gangster, fight off annoying suitors, and, naturally, deal with her hapless “recently deceased” husband. Amid this turmoil, she meets a charming foreigner, John Smith.

He is played by Polish actor Marcin Mroczek, who gained popularity in Ukraine after winning the local show contest “Dances with Stars 3.” Thus Anna is faced with a dilemma: to stand by her husband’s money or follow her feelings for Smith. The comedy, directed by Russian director Leonid Horovets, is a Russian-Ukrainian-Lithuanian production of TanArm Pictures and Baltic Film Group.
