A fisherman's daughter knows but one way to scale, yet all is too different for a daughter of a tzar. A fish van attendant named Polina Schukina is struggling through tough times when a peculiar babushka approaches her stall looking to feed her cats. The treats are served back with a journey into the World of Tzareven - the graceful female crown characters of Russian folk tales - that turns out a place ruled by bureaucracy and its long winding corridors are crowded with young women hoping to find 'tzarevenness' within themselves. Polina, too, sets to discover what it takes to be a Tzarevna and learn the tricks of 'the highly competitive profession'.

Tzarevna Scaling may lose its heart in its conceit but it is faultless in ambition, design, and navigation through traditional Russian imagery and stories. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
