Paper is a modern day immigrant story which follows the journey of Mashka, a young Russian woman trying to make it in the US. Mashka in search of the American dream, escapes from a degrading massage parlor job in Brooklyn to search for a new beginning. She finds herself alone in Venice Beach, California without money or passport. Desperate, she is looking for anyone to come along. In her search for security she unwillingly falls for Jimmy, a poor artist and paparazzi photographer. Life has given Mashka the right cards, but can she recognize them? It is a conflict of different cultures, priorities and ethics.
