Anora (Mikey Madison in an award-worthy performance), a young sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch (Mark Eydelshteyn). Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

Sean Baker (THE FLORIDA PROJECT, CIFF 2017, TANGERINE, RED ROCKET) returns to the festival with his latest film, the slyly comedic, neon-lit ANORA, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes 2024.
