The Spanish romantic comedy Russian Dolls arrived on DVD recently, and to celebrate, I’ve got a copy of the film to give away, courtesy of Genius Products and IFC Films. Here's the scoop on the film, from Genius:

A follow up to international sensation L'Auberge Espagnole, we again meet Xavier (played by Romain Duris of The Beat That My Heart Skipped) who seems dissatisfied with just about everything. An aspiring novelist, his greatest achievement is a co-credit on an over-the-top TV soap. His romantic life is equally disappointing, consisting of one-night stands and unfinished romances. He can seduce beautiful, smart and successful women - but ultimately sabotages even the most promising encounters. A chance meeting could be the answer to both his career slump and love life, but Xavier's lack of direction (and will-power) threatens to turn his good fortune into the ultimate heartbreak. Klapisch works again with many of the same actors who made L'Auberge Espagnole such a worldwide success, including international star Audrey Tautou and Cecile de France, one of France's most popular young stars. This film was a tremendous box office hit in France and nominated for 2 Cesar awards for Best Supporting Actress (Cecile de France and Kelly Reilly) and a Cesar for Best Editing.

If you don’t want to wait to win, buy the DVD at Amazon.
