A TAIL OF PERSONAL GROWTH Writer-director Ivan I. Tverdovsky s prize-winning sophomore feature (Special Prize of the Jury at Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Best Picture at Fantastic Fest) deftly mixes the deadpan humour of Aki Kaurismäki with a poignant examination of social issues including loneliness and aging. Natasha is a middle-aged admin employee at a zoo where her female co-workers take pleasure in making fun of her. She lives with her God-fearing mother and leads a dull existence without prospects, until one day she grows a tail. Medical examinations follow... where she meets Peter, a young radiologist and her dreary life is turned upside down. Described as Kafka meets Cronenberg (Hollywood Reporter) Tverdovsky s film is a beautifully photographed portrait of Eastern Europe that recalls the recent New Romanian Cinema and features a brave and brilliant central performance from Natalya Pavlenkova.

Natalya Pavlenkova stars in this Russian drama written and directed by Ivan I. Tverdovskij. The film follows 55-year-old Natasha (Pavlenkova), a lonely zoo worker still living at home with her mother. Already tormented by nasty rumours spread about her by her co-workers, Natasha is mortified to wake up one day and find she has grown a tail. After being told that her condition is inoperable, she decides to embrace her transformation and even starts a relationship with a young radiologist named Peter (Dmitriy Groshev). However, despite enjoying her new lease of life, the persistent rumours of a woman in her neighbourhood being marked by the devil force Natasha to face up to some big decisions about her future.
