Celestial Wives of the Meadow Mari (Meadow Mari: Олык марий пылвомыш вате-влак, Russian: Небесные жёны луговых мари, translit. Nebesnye zheny lugovykh mari) is a 2012 Russian comedy-drama directed by Aleksei Fedorchenko. The film was shot in Mari language and tells 23 different tales influenced by the Mari folklore. Each of these stories represents the specific approach to sexuality of "the last authentic pagans in Europe".[1] In view of this, the film could be considered a Mari "Decameron".
