But once the news reaches Russia, the fairy tale seems to end badly. His parents travel to New York to have the marriage annulled.

Anora won the Golden Palm at this year's 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.

According to a review by Film Fest Gent:

Anora, a flirty sex worker from Brooklyn with the fattest accent possible, and Russian fake baby first class Vanya get married in Vegas over a weekend full of ketamine, after he proposed to her for a lot of money to play his girlfriend for a week. It doesn't seem like a tight plan, especially when Vanya's irate parents send out some thugs to lecture their son. Out of this chaos Sean Beaker pours a kinetic screwball tragicomedy somewhere between Uncut Gems, Pretty Woman, a hit version of Cinderella and - according to the jury at Cannes, where it won the Golden Palm - the classics of Ernst Lubitsch and Howard Hawks. Actress Mikey Madison (remember the name!) completely blossoms under the wings of one of America's best directors. In short: you must see this one.
