The film's dialogues were heavily edited for a Russian theatrical release: Clara, an aspiring writer struggling with her boyfriend's infidelity, for no reason became a raving alcoholic with kidney failure caused by the boyfriend's moonshine, which is why she's upset with him. Dmitri, the toy maker, tells Clara he recognized her as a Sweets family member by "the smell of alcohol", and Clara said to him that she "likes Russians". A lot of toilet humor and other raunchy jokes were also added.
