When an elderly and newly widowed Ukrainian immigrant announces his intention to remarry, his daughters, Vera and Nadezhda, must set aside their lifetime feud to save him. For their father’s intended is a voluptuous Ukrainian gold digger who is half his age with a proclivity for green satin underwear and boil-in-the-bag cuisine, who stops at nothing in her single-minded pursuit of the luxurious Western life-style she dreams of.
But the old man, too, is pursuing his eccentric dreams - and writing a history of tractors in Ukrainian.
