Music: Artist/Title: Roman Karev
Date Of 1st Transmission: 28/03/2008
Advertising Agency: LOWE ADVENTA , Moscow, RUSSIA

Synopsis
Russian women are famous for their beauty. In other words, they need no retouching to be perfect. Based on this belief, we created the story of a girl that will use A Foreign Affair's services. To look attractive to men in other countries, all she needs to do is look like she does well in life; in other words, show that she's not in it for the money.
Since this was supposed to be an internet film, we decided that the best idea would be to use Dove Evolution as a base, but to reverse the logic in favor of real beauty. So, we make changes and improvements only in the background, never on the (naturally perfect) girl.
