What is Office Romance about?
Anatoli is a mild-mannered statistician working under a stern, exacting director at a government institution. When his well-connected old friend Yuri returns as the new assistant director, he sees a path for Anatoli's long-overdue promotion — but the unyielding director, Kalugina, stands squarely in the way. Yuri's unconventional solution: have Anatoli charm the boss. What begins as a calculated, clumsy attempt at flattery soon takes an unexpected turn as both Anatoli and Kalugina discover shared vulnerabilities beneath their professional masks. Neither anticipated what genuine warmth between two guarded people might look like — and that is precisely where the story becomes most interesting.
Cast & crew
Director Ol Parker brings a light comedic touch to this workplace story. Jennifer Lopez leads as the driven, formidable Kalugina, opposite Brett Goldstein's understated Anatoli. The ensemble includes Betty Gilpin, Edward James Olmos, Bradley Whitford, Amy Sedaris, Jodie Whittaker, and Mary Wiseman, each adding texture to the office world surrounding the central pair.

It is an ideal watch for a shared family evening or a light solo session after a long day.
