Birthday Girl is a 2001 film directed by Jez Butterworth, co-written by the director and Tom Butterworth, starring Ben Chaplin, Creator/NicoleKidman, Mathieu Kassovitz and Creator/VincentCassel.
John is a bankclerk from St Albans who, upon concluding he will never meet the love of his life in the 'small island' of Britain, decides to send off for a mail-order bride from Russia. A young lady, Nadia, duly arrives, but with one significant issue: she speaks no English. After a brief moral dilemma, John embarks on a relationship with his silent (at least, as far as English goes) partner. However, when Nadia's 'cousins', Yuri and Alexei, arrive from Russia, he begins to realise he may have bitten off more then he can chew.
