Plot summary: Andrew meets a young Russian girl, Daria, while on vacation in
Europe and falls in love. He goes to Moscow, where he meets Daria's father,
a rich Russian mafia oligarch, and becomes entwined with his situation,
which places them both in grave danger.
Synopsis:
Andrew Lambert, a successful American divorce attorney, travels to Paris for
business, where he's introduced to Daria Larina, a beautiful and enigmatic
Russian woman, by the lovely Jacqueline De Rossy. Head over heels from
virtually the minute he sees her, Andrew pursues her with intensity, aware
that Daria has trust issues. Charming and a bit relentless in his amorous
dance with Daria, Andrew succeeds in winning her heart, but a greater
challenge awaits when he accompanies Daria to her father's wedding in
Russia. Raf Larin, Daria's father, is a powerful Russian official, being
pressured by associates of his former comrade in arms, Oleg Razhin, a
criminal mastermind, once a friend of Raf's, who spent the last 7 years in
prison. Razhin's men on the outside kidnap Daria, part of a maneuver to
force Raf to obtain him a pardon and release him from prison. Andrew is
horrified when Daria is kidnapped, part of a maneuver to put Raf to the
screws. At the same time, Raf arranges the release, and meets Razhin in
prison, convincing him to set Daria free. However, after he is released,
Razhin is gunned down by unknown assassins. Willing to risk his life to
rescue Daria, Andrew works independently of Raf to break open the circle of
kidnappers and set Daria free.

Style: Cinema Verite

Synopsis: In "All That I Need," a group of people start a money pyramid
scheme, fashioned after the "Muffin Club" scheme. The camera acts as a fly

arise out of the meetings. As jealousy and greed enter the picture, and the
scheme begins to unwind, we see how the players turn on each other and the
negative effects the scheme has on their lives. The film has a very strong
moral message, as well as a "surprise ending."
