This amusing story of Russian dubbing stars may seem ultra-specific, but it clearly has a universal theme for all to appreciate and enjoy. With their “golden“ voices no longer considered gold, Victor and Raya have their foundations shaken, and although they react in very different ways, their goal of eventual happiness persists for them both. The need to re-invent one's self is sometimes demanded and often necessary, with the sacrifices along the way and the lessons learnt in the process, all shaping who you become as a person.
