A lonely and repressed bank employee, John Buckingham (Ben Chaplin) desperately wants to meet the right girl. Then, through a Russian mail-order bride service, he is introduced to Nadia (Nicole Kidman), a quiet and attractive woman who doesn't speak English. After several sensual encounters, John's fondness for Nadia grows ... until the sudden arrival of Nadia's two gregarious cousins makes John realize that he's in over his head.
