Yulia, the Ukrainian prime minister is serving 7 years in prison in Kharkiv. Tymoshenko has been on two hunger strikes, since her imprisonment. Her sentence is abuse of office with gas deals to Russia.

She has also been a prime suspect for a murder of Yevhen Shcherban and may be given a life sentence. She shares a prison cell with a young woman who was framed for a murder who becomes her savior as well as her enemy.

Before becoming Ukraine’s first female Prime Minister in 2005, Tymoshenko co-led the Orange Revolution.

Tymoshenko has been a practising economist and academic. Prior to her political career, Yulia Tymoshenko was a successful but controversial businesswoman in the gas industry, becoming by some estimates one of the richest people in the country.

During the worst blizzard in New York City history, Julia, a call girl, arrives for a “date” with Jeffrey, a reclusive and wealthy young man who has gotten rich by inventing best-selling sexual devices.

What starts as a routine “trick” with trimmings (fake palm trees, suntan lotion, and lots of margaritas) ends up with Jeffrey and Julia getting considerably more than they bargained for on this first date.

Written and directed by Matt Morillo, and featuring original Los Angeles cast members, Jessica Moreno and Jaret Sacrey.
