     But this film isn't just a love story, before they know it  the characters find themselves entangled in the dealings of the Russian mafia.
     Gotova says, "One super power and another one like superpower collide in those two characters.. American and a Russian. And so then the adventure takes us from there to Moscow, and then you have to come see the movie to see the rest."
     Gotova says the movie was hard to make, but that dreams can come true.
