Dismissing the idea at first, soon the prime minister experiences a heart stroke as the country gets the first signs of war at it's borders. As the president uses his illness to turn him into a scapegoat, the already ex-prime minister gets back to Feliksas, persuades him to reveal his plan and offers his help.

- DirectorAlina RudnitskayaStarsLidaVikaDiana'School of Seduction' follows the three Russian women, Diana, Lida and Vica, who are on the same mission. They're searching for security, a higher social status, and plain, simple happiness. This isn't an easy task in post-communistic Russia, where an extremely patriarchal culture is ruling, the general perception of being happy equals a life with a successful man and where women outnumber the male population in outright numbers. Our three heroines take matters into hand and start at a course called "The School of Seduction", where they learn how to live, think, and behave in order to be loved. But is this really what they dream about and want? Director Alina Rudnitskaya, herself a Russian woman, followed her protagonists for seven years and has remarkable footage of their development, struggling in a country which always put the man before the woman.
