Bourgeois's Birthday(2000)

Bourgeois's Birthday is a Russian drama series following Vladimir Kovalenko, a self-made businessman with wealth, influence, and a glamorous lifestyle. Yet beneath his success lies a hidden truth: he's a foundling who never knew his real identity, earning the orphanage nickname "Bourgeois" for his early grasp of money's value. As his birthday approaches, the comfortable facade of his carefully constructed life begins to crack. The series explores themes of identity, ambition, and the cost of reinvention, asking whether a man can truly escape his origins. With a successful business empire and a beautiful lover at his side, Kovalenko appears to have it all—until secrets from his past threaten everything he's built.
