Honey Baby

Deutschland Finnland Lettland Russland 2002-2004 Spielfilm

On a tour through the Baltic states, the American musician and song writer, Tom, gets to know the Russian woman, Natasha, in Kaliningrad. She has just recently returned from Germany, where she should have married a businessman she didn’t even love. Just before the marriage, however, she flees. With both of them at turning points in their lives, they travel together through the land – the beginning of a "magical mystery tour", that finally leads the unequal couple to Murmansk.
