Project Detail

Mission London

Synopsis

When VARADIN, the Bulgarian ambassador, arrives at his new posting in London, a few days earlier than expected, he finds the embassy in disarray and no preparations in place to celebrate Bulgaria's accession into the EU. Under pressure from Madame SELIANOVA, the President's wife, a patron of the event, Varadin's political standing rests on him ensuring the Queen attends the concert.

With the event fast approaching, Varadin, desperate to secure the Queen, seeks help from PR firm 'Famous Connections', unaware that they provide celebrity look-alikes for the fulfilment of their clients' sexual fantasies. He discovers the truth only a day before the concert and Madame Selianova is already on her way to London.

Unknown to Varadin, the embassy cook, BANICHAROV is helping an ex-Soviet criminal and unsuccessful Bulgarian actor store a dozen stolen ducks in the embassy freezers, but unknowing to them the ducks are GPS chipped and Scotland Yard are hot on their tracks.

To complicate matters, Varadin fancies the gorgeous KATIA - the embassy cleaner by day and stripper by night, and she’s been offered a job at 'Famous Connections' as a Princess of Wales look-alike; Varadin has no clue as to Katya's work beyond the embassy walls.
