There are over 150 IKEA branches all over the world. And now Russia has one of its own. On 22 March 2000, Russia's first IKEA opened its doors in the Moscow suburb of Khimki. Manuela and Ulf, both loyal IKEA employees, meet and fall in love in an IKEA store in Berlin. They leave their families and decide to go to Moscow. Lost in a world of heavy old furniture, they feel like pioneers bringing Russia its first taste of "brighter living".
