Shot in his signature style, Sean Baker's comedy-drama continues the director's deeply humanist exploration of social issues. Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Anora, an exotic dancer and a young sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets the son of a Russian oligarch. Still green around the gills, this immature youngster is a godsend for Anora, who dreams of being a class defector, imagining leaving behind her miserable life of wandering hands and dawn subway rides. The two lovebirds jet off to Las Vegas, because it's rumoured that the drugs are better there. The couple marry on a whim. Once the news reaches Russia, Anora's fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.
