## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Ninotchka wants to have it both ways, and mostly does. A humorless Soviet envoy is sent to Paris to oversee the disposal of some jewels. But she falls for a suave local, and starts to loosen up. It's exactly as featherweight as it wants to be.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful
