Happy New Year!
Thank you!
Fast! Get on stage!
Faster! Don't smile! Faster!
Faster, I said!
Faster! Faster!
Our holiday concert continues!

Rita!
- Finally!
- Sorry I just finished saying "bye" to everyone.
While you were chatting away,
all my musical toes were bitten by the frost.
- Happy New Year!
- You too, boys!

I beg you, my dear man,
can you tell me where Cafe Chadra is located?
Nobody seems to know,
but Nino is waiting for me there.
- Maybe Charka? - Exactly!
- It's just across the road and to the right.
Thank you, dear man!
Nino, I'm coming.
Artist's personal handwork.
Only one of these in all of Moscow.
- Are you taking it?
- We're taking it. Or we won't make it anywhere.
- But the gift must be special.
- How well I understand you!
Don't listen to her! Do you know how many of these "special ones" she's gifted him already?!
- This is the most suitable gift for your boyfriend!
- Rita, stop it!
- Excellent choice! Such pigs are very unique!
- You see!
- Alright, I'll take it for Pashka.
- Should I wrap it?
- Yes.
- And mine too.
Thank God, finally!
Hi! Happy New Year!
Shall we have a toast?
I'll go first.
- Let's drink to luck!
- In the New Year!
- Yes! In the New Year!
Would you look at that
they're drinking without us!
- Don't give any to the violins!
- Why is that?!
Because you're already loved too much
over here. We don't want Matilda getting angry.
When I listen to Alyona play I feel
as though I'm a nymph.
Dog, baboon, and nymph - it's all the same!
You're a baboon yourself!
Let's do it!
Happy New Year!!!
My brave falcons and beautiful ladies,
golden my hat with your coins...
"On the forest path you were kissing Kostya..."
"Don't make Santa Claus angry..."
"Hey, bunny, won't you pour me some of that..."
You better not "bunny up" so early!
Brave falcon, golden my hat, don't be shy.
That's what I've got!
Why so little?
Oh, young falcon...
Where's everybody else?
- Are you asking about your boyfriend?
- Who else?
Hi!
- Are you gossiping again?
- Oleg!
- Why did you take so long?
- Just so happened. Let's step away for a second.
- Let's go!
- Hi, Vika!
Hello, everyone!
- What is she doing here?
- Will anyone offer the lady some champagne?
If we want to make it to the Red Square,
we should get going.
- Alyona! Catch up!
- Alright!
You see, I've been thinking a long time...
- and I decided that...
- Wait one second, please!
This is for you! It's a gift...
- It's better for us to break up.
- ... for New Year!
I'm sorry.
Olejek, hold me tight!
It's so slippery on high heels! Bye!
Anybody here?
The power stations cannot handle it.
Everyone is at home in front of their
TVs right now.
Is anyone waiting for you at home?
My friends are waiting for me.
- Do you need a gift?
- I need a phone.
- Only a phone?
- Yes.
Since you are our last customer tonight...
I would like to offer you a free gift
in addition to the phone.
A calling plan of your dreams.
Interesting... So what do I dream about?
I think probably like everyone else:
about love.
THE NEW YEAR CALLING PLAN
Hold it for me!
- Yes, I'm listening.
- Vadim! It's me!
Andrey?! Finally!
Where are you? Why did you not pick up?
I just flew in. Guess what happened to me?
He lost his mobile.
Now he has a new number.
- Tell him we've been waiting for him for long time.
- We are waiting for you. Next to the tree.
Alright, agreed.
- Masha, you're not cold, I hope?
- No.
Ouch!
Yelling in my ear.
No! Just take a look at him!
A real pig: he didn't write, he didn't call!
And now there you go: he's back home!
Andrey!
Masha, see, anyone who lives in Austria for a whole year will come back with a face just like that!
Or will forget the language!
Why are you silent? Give us a snort at least!
You've changed a lot!
And you haven't!
Andrey!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Everyone is already here.
Before our eyes...
Midnight is dancing in the rooms.
If we read time backwards,
The walls with our pain crumble.
Let the old year remember about us
The very best, the most important.
Everything will pass,
The new countdown begins here and now.
So we begin a new chapter!
May the New Year make all our dreams come true!
I really hope to get hired
somewhere as a talk show host.
- Or get hired as a janitor!
- No! - Yes!
Only the top director of all janitors!
- What do you want, Andrey?
- He wants love.
Real love.
- Let us drink to love!
- To love!
Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year!!!
And now...
the Russian... traditional... game!
Guys! How much longer can we do it?
Every year it's the same thing:
make phone calls and bother people. Enough of it!
Not bother people,
but bring people holiday spirit!
- Everyone must make a call.
- Not everyone!
But only those
who don't have a girlfriend.
- Andrey! There's a traitor among us.
- Yes.
That's enough!
Or we'll get stepped on.
Andrey, tell me the truth...
you really have nothing against
me and Masha dating?
- Vladim, honestly? - Honestly.
- Don't worry about it.
Masha and I broke up way back last year.
So I wish you two happiness!
Get off me!
Now Vadim is going to make a call.
Alright the phone call is on!
There, have the phone!
Happy New Year! Hello!
I wish you a great holiday!
I wish you luck!
Keep calling! No pretending!
Pass on a "hello" from me as well!
Look, you dropped something.
Oh, yes!
By the way,
a souvenir from Austria.
I'll give it you.
May it bring you luck.
Allice Goute jewelry.
I'm telling you I don't know you,
and you don't know me either.
No, I don't know your wife.
Who is it? Who?
Some old man.
Next.
- Hello, Oleg?
- Happy New Year!
Who are you?
You don't know me, and I don't know you either. I'm just calling you to wish you a Happy New Year!
- She's crying!
- I said that we shouldn't do this.
She's neither the first nor the last
to cry because of him.
Did someone hurt your feelings?
It just so happened.
Let me guess...
you were visited by a drunken Santa Claus
who took away all your presents?
Do you at least have champagne?
I have.
Then immediately open it and drink it.
The whole bottle?
At least a third of it.
Andrey! Hurry up!
We need to get going.
Did you pour a glass?
Let us drink to...
everything getting better for you and...
you never ever having to greet in
the New Year all by yourself.
Thank you!
May I call you again tomorrow?
Coming! Coming!
Why?
To hear your voice once again.
My name is Andrey, by the way.
I'm Alyona.
I'll call you.
I'll be sure to call.
Happy New Year! And lots of new happiness!
Are your parents back yet? - Not yet.
Well, then!
Listen, have you been sleeping?
I haven't been to bed yet.
By the way, I'm simply dying from hunger.
Forgive me, but I really need the refrigerator.
Last year's salads!
I love them!
- Can you believe it? Oleg yesterday...
- No, don't.
Don't what? Don't what?
Is it okay to ruin people's holidays?
At another person's Requiem
you can't play your Mendelssohn.
By the way, Pashka and Maks almost
gave your Oleg a good beating.
- He's not "mine" anymore.
- Anyways, they both ran away pretty fast.
Yes!
Hi! It's Andrey.
- How is the mood?
- Better already.
What about going skiing?
- Is that Pashka?
- No, it's Andrey.
He called me yesterday, and we got acquainted.
I can't. I can't risk hurting my fingers.
- Your toes?
- No, my fingers. I'm a violinist.
- A professional violinist?
- Yes.
- You read musical notes?
- Sometimes.
I can imagine how your neighbors
must be k*lling themselves.
There are no more neighbors left.
They've all jumped out of windows by now.
There is a terrible sin bearing down
on your conscience.
But you can have it absolved
by meeting me on the ice skating ring today.
Is the punishment not too severe?
- That means I hope to see you there!
- Alright.
- Okay, it's agreed then.
- Till we meet!
The old lady did not suffer long.
I thought she is in coma,
came to sit at her bedside.
And here you are...
Tell me everything!
So what do I tell?
I don't know him. He called me
and said that he dialed my number by accident.
What a liar!
And you?
And I answered the call.
My dear pine trees!
And he?
He's asking me on a date.
And you?
And he's already getting the skates ready.
Blind date!
Listen...
- What if she is scary like...
- Now don't!
None of your sick fantasies, please.
- I know that she is beautiful.
- Why do you think so?
First of all, she's a violinist.
Secondly, she has a beautiful voice.
- And if she played the double bass.
- Then she would have had a moustache...
and the voice like that of a djigit
[Kazakhstany cowboy]!
You know, I think it's not bad.
I think it's terrible.
First of all, these things were invented
for people with crooked legs.
Who are you referring to?
Secondly, we've been waiting for your date
for 20 minutes already.
What if he's here, but just too shy to walk over?
He scheduled the date with me,
but he liked you?
Now that's to be expected.
Hello!
Hi! Where are you?
- I'm at the ice skating ring.
- Me too!
- I'm in the red sweater, as we agreed.
- Then why do I not see you?
I'm just coming to the New Year tree.
And I'm the guy...
I'm the guy who just fell on the ice!
- See me?
- Half the people here are like that.
However, I'm the only one who
contrasts well with the blue tree decorations.
Why are you silent?
I think I went to the wrong ice skating ring!
I've bent all my legs here!
And we're in the wrong place!
Forgive me!
Listen, let's send each other our
pictures by SMS. To make it easier.
Or I will have to chase after
every red sweater.
- Your number is not identified on my phone.
- I'm giving you my number.
Yes, just a second.
I got it. I have it down.
Alright. Bye!
- He's asking for my photo!
- Cool!
Have you gone crazy?
Look at the black spots under my eyes!
Now calm down.
I'll take a nice picture of you!
Give me passion.
I said "passion."
Give me shyness.
Now inviting.
And now subdued.
No, "subdued" doesn't work.
Here's the best one.
It doesn't allow me to send it.
Listen, don't worry about it.
You'll send it later.
Let's make him suffer a little bit.
You know, like always.
- Rita!
- What?
He sent me his picture!
Some people are just so lucky.
- What if that's not him?
- No, that is him.
Andrey, bring it here!
- Ask him, he doesn't happen to have a twin?
- I'd have taken the twin.
Judging by the sour expression,
she didn't come.
- That's the thing: she came.
- Was she ugly?
- I don't know.
- You can't decide if she's ugly or not?
We didn't meet.
We went to different ice skating rings.
"My head is thinking,
No worries at all."
"And also puffs,
thoughts and straws."
I think there's no reason to worry.
Why don't you invite him somewhere?
You'll sit and talk.
And I'll watch you from afar.
I'll envy someone else's happiness.
The number dialed is incorrect.
Please, be more careful in dialing...
Maybe it's all for the best.
What if she has eyes like this?
Nose like this? Lips like this?
That she'll want to kiss you with?
Then my most cherished fantasy
will finally come true!
Congratulations, Casanova!
He couldn't wait!
The fire of love burned him through!
Yes!
I suggest carrying out the
minimum program.
- I ask for another date.
- I agree.
Only the place must be such
that the lady would make no mistakes.
And it must a short walk.
And it must be romantic!
Andrey! Maybe she's just playing with you?
- Stop it!
- Happy New Year!
You're something like her back-up plan.
Right, Cat?
Ha? Yes.
Focus your attention on someone more real.
Over there.
Does that guy suit your purposes?
- Andrey, you want to fall in love with a guy?
- You must be very desperate!
Fools!
No mistakes can be made here.
You'll recognize me right away.
I'm the guy with an icicle hanging
down his nose.
I see the park already!
Please stop after that turn.
- Look.
- Yes.
This is me.
And this is my snow covered friend over here.
See it?
This is for you.
- Forgive me that I'm without flowers.
- I see the statue.
But I'm hoping that won't disappoint you too much. If you want, we can go looking for flowers under the snow...
... that is, if the two of us don't freeze first.
You know, just a little bit more...
and I will freeze for good.
Andrey.
I am here.
- But I don't understand anything.
- What don't you understand?
Can I ask you a stupid question?
What year is it right now?
Is that a joke?
It's 2008 right now.
"Restoration work will be finished
in January of 2009."
You're lying!
No, I'm not.
Go, go, go...
Good job!
It doesn't seem to you
that he...
- Is taking you...
- For not a very smart girl.
I don't know.
Look for yourselves.
This is me.
And this is my snow covered friend over here.
- And in reality that statue looks like this!
- Oh, I don't know.
I think it's all pretty convincing.
Let him show you some more proof.
For example, outcomes of soccer matches...
or horse races.
Don't talk nonsense!
What? Pashka is right.
Let him tell us horse race results.
And if we win something!
Which wouldn't be bad at all...
then he really must be
a guest from the future.
- There you go!
- Back to the future!
Back to the future, my friend!
Idiots!
Unlike you, he at least has
a smart face.
That's right!
Listen! What if it's not his face?
What if he's an alien who's
occupying someone else's body?
- Is that possible?
- Yeah.
Theoretically it is possible.
But if we disregard everything else
and treat time as a function.
- Then...
- Who is he talking to right now?
To you, foolish boy.
Vadim, how about not as a function?
Or as a function for dummies?
For the simple folk.
- Vadim Alekseevich, I'll run to the grocery
to get some pasta? - Alright.
More simply?
As a space-time loop.
- How do we perceive time?
- As past, present, and future!
Good girl!
But there is also another theory
that the past, present, and future...
exist simultaneously.
See. It's all close.
And if we imagine time...
as a spiral...
then we are right here,
and she is below us. In the past.
Let's suppose there is such a place
where these two points are touching.
First time the two of you connected was
on the New Year night, right?
Exactly at midnight,
when the change of years happened.
Old year came to an end,
the new one hadn't yet started...
you and her were both at point zero.
The two spirals came into contact.
Something locked them in.
And energy exchange became possible.
Two straight parallel lines intersected!
I mean no.
Not intersected, but established contact.
Through luminiferous aether.
But the two spirals will never merge together.
You'll stay in your time dimension,
and she'll stay in hers.
Hello!
Hi! What are you doing?
I'm sleeping.
Isn't it too early for that?
Isn't it too late for phone calls?
I thought maybe we should meet.
I can stop by.
- What for?
- To talk.
Are you home?
No.
What do you mean, no?
It means what it means.
- He wanted to get back together
and you said no? - Yeah.
Upon my word!
Listen...
that means Vika is having a new affair.
The cat lost out on a bowl of milk after all.
I only regret that I wasted
a year of my life on that cat.
Good day!
- Did Andrey call?
- No.
Merrily! Energetically!
With fire in your eyes!
Not like last time...
No one is dying here...
Start from 3rd line!
Let's stop this circus.
You wanted to make me angry,
you've succeeded.
I was wrong.
I regret my actions, and I'm asking
you out to a restaurant. Any restaurant.
Whichever you choose.
Too late. First of all.
Second, I'm not single anymore.
- What are you doing! Villain!
- Have you lost your mind?
Yes, I've lost my mind!
When I spent New Year with that dumb girl!
Would you take a better look at yourself?!
Still she wants me!
The police wants you!
How boring!
Andrey, this is urgent.
Presentation on our new equipment.
It needs to be moved to next week.
So be it. Can you imagine?
If I happen to go away for a year,
everything is taken apart.
You didn't forget?
That today we are celebrating
my birthday?
No.
I was hoping to receive as a present...
something special.
Masha, what for?
Vadim loves you.
So be happy together.
Cat!
Look.
That's it. Let's dance!
Sit down for a second.
A toast!
To my beloved Marie!
Bottoms up! Everyone!
- Hello!
- Hi!
- It's me.
- I'm so happy to hear you.
Is everything alright?
Yes.
Now it is.
I was afraid that I will never
hear your voice again.
I don't know your last name
or your address.
I even called you several times,
but the lady's voice in the phone informed me, "Unfortunately you cannot place a call into the future,
yes, and you cannot send a text message
there either."
Well, of course.
The future hasn't happened yet.
Listen...
Let's go to a cafe together.
- Right now?
- Is it late?
- On the contrary, it's a great idea.
- Awesome.
I have one very cozy place in mind.
Leaving already?
Forgive me.
Time for me to go.
Is she better than me?
She is just different.
It's all so strange.
If Rita told me this,
I'd never believe her.
To be talking to a person
from the future!
Why dramatize it so!
We can go and meet each other tomorrow. We're not on different planets, after all.
You'll meet with me there?
And I'll meet you here?
It's a bit awkward.
Just imagine, I'll come over
to you tomorrow and say,
"Hello! I met you in the future."
You'll think I'm a loony.
But you won't be able to see me.
All of last year I spent in Austria.
An avid skier?
A translator.
Our firm had a massive
building project there
and all of last year I was
busy working from morning till night.
But if you don't mind.
I can come see you.
Say, tomorrow, for instance.
What day is tomorrow?
January 9th.
I'll write it down in my day planner
and will circle the date:
"All day wait for Andrey!"
So in your time I am right now sitting at home, all nervous, looking at the calendar
and worried that maybe you won't like me?
Of course, I will like you.
Let's check that.
I am going to leave you a "hello"
from the past under the window sill.
I hope the employees at this
restaurant are not too conscientious,
and they don't clean here too much.
Then they don't wash their
glasses well either.
No, this doesn't include the glasses.
Can I look now?
It's been a year that you can look.
Is everything alright?
Yes, thank you.
I dropped a cufflink.
Who was I taking the bill to?
Young lady, save me!
Oh, wow!
I desperately need your help.
Do you speak the flower language?
In prose or rhyme?
You see, I need to explain,
why I was absent for an entire year.
Then, you know what, young man...
You should attach to the flowers...
this diamond.
And she will understand everything.
Then I'm afraid I won't be
around for another 15-20 years.
After the government confiscates it.
But I would...
have waited for you.
Thank you!
Hi!
It's me, Andrey.
These are for you!
No.
These are for you.
Why are you worried so?
You will meet today,
and everything will be just perfect.
Yeah, right. It will be.
- First of all, I will be old already.
- What?!
Older by an entire year.
Then the worst part is
that he will come to see not me,
but that girl in the future.
Wait, you are being jealous
of your own self?
You're a goldmine for psychiatry.
It's all good for her,
but I have to wait a whole nother year.
- Hello.
- You are late.
Run down quickly.
The bus may not have left yet.
What bus?
To the cemetery.
Today it's 9 days since...
Did someone die in Alyona's family?
Our dear Alyona.
Did you tell her?
Afraid to?
What?
An oil truck crashed into a bus.
Alyona and 40 more people k*lled.
What's the big problem?
We just need to call her and tell her to not go to this place on that night. Problem solved.
You're a real genius.
What about other people?
We can find out the phone numbers
and addresses of others too.
And tell her to call these people.
Right, Vadim?
No.
We should not.
We should not save anyone.
No one besides Alyona.
Everything must stay as it is.
What if our interference leads
to even more deaths?
What do you mean "if"?
Understand it's no accident that all these people came together in one place. For some reason it was supposed to happen.
What if it's no accident that I called her?
Maybe I was meant to change this?
- There is a messiah among us!
- Without sarcasm, please!
Alright! Alright!
Let's look at it from another angle.
What if among those 40 people there was some t*rror1st or serial k*ller who was supposed to die?
Why the other people?
Cat, you go talk to him.
No, this is simply bad manners!
He knows that I'm suffering.
Is it really so hard to call?
Listen...
I wouldn't spend so much money
on you either.
Fool!
So Pashka comes over yesterday and says
to me, "Mademoiselle..."
I tell him, "What 'Mademoiselle'
am I to you?"
I just wanted to say that
everything needs to be calculated well.
Call her.
First I must gather more information.
Andrey, the phone reception may be cut off at any moment. You may simply not have time to warn her.
Call her.
So be it.
We're having a good time here.
Right?
Of course!
Shall we go for a ride?
- Would you like it fast?
- Yes!
Alright.
We're going to have it fast.
Is it possible they remembered us?
Hello!
- Listen to me, please.
- Faster! Faster!
What now?
Nothing.
We've already decided that on New Year's
night you will not go there.
And stop getting yourself
worked up about it.
So it means I have a future, but
someone else does not?
New Year's Eve night turned into a big tragedy. On one of the streets of Moscow
there was a collision between an oil truck, a bus, and an automobile.
The year that ended will be long remembered not by joyous ringing of bells,
but by the howling of ambulance and fire truck sirens. Just 15 minutes prior to New Year...
in the midst of a busy street an expl*si*n was heard...
That's what TV news reported.
Here's what was published later:
Experts insist that the accident was
caused by Vitaliy Barinov.
Born in 1963. He had high blood alcohol content at the time of the accident.
- Who wants coffee?
- I'd like some cognac in mine.
Again?
Are you too miser to share
some with your friend?
Andrey, do you want some?
The friend who searched the internet for absolutely everything that could be searched? Sacrificing his health...
You should've spent less time
on porn sites.
That's where the most useful information is.
What are you talking about?
Comedians! By the way, that's exactly where I found police camera videos.
I had no doubt.
- Bring the man coffee!
- I'm running.
Thank you!
- Andrey, you didn't even ask for any!
- Stop complaining.
He's driving me nuts!
- There you go!
- Thank you!
Look here, demons.
Naked woman. Big deal!
See. The car starts driving
against the direction of traffic.
The driver of the oil truck hits on the gas,
his rear is carried to the side and hits the bus.
By the way I was taking a bus
on that very same route only earlier.
A little bit more and I would not be
here with you guys today.
Well.
What do we start with?
So.
We need all the information
about the dead.
Addresses, telephone numbers...
Who was at the wheel, and
who arrived later.
And who set the driving routes.
We collect all this information,
and I will send it all to Alyona's phone.
Yes, sir.
It's very important that she doesn't
start acting too early.
- Meaning?
- I'm afraid as soon as she tries to fix something.
Everything will begin to change.
The phone connection can break off
or hell knows what else.
Andrey, the connection has been
established between two particular spirals in time.
If you change things,
you will have completely new reality.
Got it?
Idiots.
You're saying that I should
just sit, wait, and do nothing?
By the way, it's I who will be k*lled there.
Alyona...
Listen, I am only suggesting to wait.
This will allow us to collect more
accurate information.
Right now there are a lot of unknowns.
I don't want to lose you one more time.
Try to understand, if we contact
even one person of those who died
and send him down a new time
trajectory, everything is going to change.
I will no longer be able to get in touch
with you by phone and say,
"Hi! How are things?"
But I will be able to! I'll wait till New Year, come up to you, and say...
Wait...
What do I say to you?
The you who will be at Red Square that night
does not know me yet.
I'll send you a video message.
From here, from the future.
You'll show that to me,
and I will understand everything.
What will you understand?
I will understand that you and I...
Hello!
Hello! Andrey!
I can't hear you!
As I said, Russian people are
no different from us.
You can see he is asking
for help from the water spirit.
Can you believe it?
Like a snow leopard, I...
risking my life
I dive for the phone...
All around me there's a crowd of tourists
and they all start clapping,
shouting to me,
"Andrey! You are the best!"
- Though they probably took me for a madman.
- But of course.
Just look at yourself: walking alone
through the city and smiling to yourself.
Then I suggest going to Europe.
Over there people just live
however they like.
No one cares what other people
might think of him.
Why not? I have always wanted to
visit the homeland of Mozart.
You know, I saw his house.
Ordinary yellow house.
Four stories. Two windows on the top floor.
I was actually more impressed by the fried chestnuts I was able to buy across the street.
To each his own.
You should try them first,
and then say.
What if after that you would say, "Forget music. I am going to grow chestnut trees."
Rita... You are going to laugh at me, but...
- I started to feel scared of buses.
- There we go again.
- Alyona, stop thinking about it all the time!
- I can't.
I look at people...
and realize that for some of them this is
their very last spring ever.
And they don't have a clue about it!
Nothing to be scared of!
Look!
Hey, stop!
Open the doors!
Open the door!
Sto-o-op!
Sergeeva!
Did you fall asleep?
Forgive me.
You are playing "Seasons of the Year,"
so you need to think about the eternal.
You need to say to yourself: I am a stream,
I'm a porcupine, I'm...
Someone finds it funny?
You need to play,
like it's for the very last time.
Sergeeva, do you understand
what it means to play for the very last time?
No, the hell you don't.
By the way this concerns all of you.
This is how it's going to be:
either you work well
or I put you through musical terror.
Start.
It is so cozy here.
- Come see us more often.
- Definitely.
- You might get bored of me.
- I take you at your word.
Well.
Duty calls.
A big thank you for your help.
Goodbye.
See the lady out.
Are you alright?
To give away copies of all the case documents?
Even I didn't know how you are...
so cunning.
A kiss!
You have yet to learn, darling.
Well? Start praising me and telling me how smart and clever I am.
Applause and flowers later. Right now we need to learn all the details about the accident.
There you have it: human ingratitude. I got him the police case file with all the photos, last names, and addresses,
and he's too stingy to give a compliment.
Masha...
Forgive me. I've been wanting to tell you this for a very long time. Finally I've mustered up the courage.
You are the smartest smart girl...
and the most beautiful beauty.
That's a fact, Marie.
Fool.
Yes, I got everything. Right now I'm transferring it onto my computer.
It's everything we were able to find. Contact information, witness testimonies, and plan of action...
- ... the way we see it.
- Excellent!
Thank you!
Then let's move on to the congratulations.
Happy Birthday!
How did you know?
I just know.
How is your mood?
You'll probably have a big party today?
To be honest, I don't feel like
organizing anything.
Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Excuse me. Hello! Yes.
Listen, stop talking. It's time to drink!
- What are you yelling for? Her grandma is calling!
- Oh, really? Grandma?
"Hello, granddaughter, how are you?"
"I am drinking vodka with my friends!"
"Good! Just be sure not to smoke."
By the noise in the background I can tell that you are sitting alone in the library.
Exactly!
It's the librarian going crazy.
They're always this way.
They read too many books
and then cannot calm down.
It seems to me
that you are actually sad.
Did something happen?
It's nothing.
I just wanted to have a fun holiday...
but it started to rain.
Don't be upset.
I remember one of my birthdays.
Long time ago. In summer camp.
A girl from team 7 gifted me a kaleidoscope.
And I lost it that same day.
To this day I feel ashamed.
It's so strange...
I have this feeling
that you are close to me.
I only need to stretch out my hand
and I will touch you.
I will miss your phone calls.
Why the pessimistic attitude?
But you have always said:
- as soon as we begin changing the future...
- The existing reality will change as well.
One day your call will not go through.
Again you're suffering all alone?
Why alone?
Don't tell me?
Another telecommunication session?
First. First. This is Second!
Say hello to Andrey.
It's Rita.
- He says hello to you too.
- Thank you!
This message...
I am sending you just in case communication between us becomes impossible, and you stay in your time. And I here in mine.
I really don't care
that a whole year separates us.
I know
that we will meet.
Alyona!
Are you with us?
Yes, I'm sorry.
- So it's not enough to take down
just this guy? - No.
All together they make up the critical mass.
And each of them is carrier of the threat.
So if we remove Barinov,
the bus and the oil truck will still collide.
Only in some other way.
- It's karma.
- What?
I'm not the one who came up with this.
Andrey thinks so.
No, I'm not playing it this way.
That means we have to
take down everyone!
Thus spoke the innocent child!
So. I am taking on Barinov.
Olga - the bus.
- Max - oil truck!
- I can take on the oil truck!
- I'll pretend to be a dumb blond.
- Yes!
Why would you need to pretend?
And I will confidently neutralize both
the oil truck and the driver.
I can only imagine!
My dear beautiful flowers...
Girl!
Can you tell me how to get to SFTVK?
Of course. Let me look at my map.
Maybe you'll have some tea first?
- Would you like sugar?
- And some lemon, if possible.
Maybe... to hell with the SFTVK?
You are right.
Stay here... with me.
- Ha-ha 3 times.
- You're wrong.
The idea with tea is not that bad.
Purely theoretically such a guy
could very well bite the bait.
Maybe we should mix up
the truck driving schedules?
Yeah right!
It's probably way easier to dig a whole trench in the middle of the freeway than figure out all this bureaucratic obscurity.
Okay, let's put that one aside.
Now concerning the automobile...
- What if we go to that village?
- Severnyi. - Yes!
- And find Barinov there!
- What's the point?
Just imagine. You come there all so beautiful.
Knock-knock-knock!
- Who's there?
- And there's nobody at home.
- Is that her there?
- So you find his wife.
And say to her...
Hello! Where's Vitaliy?
He's not here.
What do you need him for?
Blah-blah-blah
Blah
I see. Where else would he be?
He's at his favorite pub.
b*stard!
You find him.
And infiltrate his circle.
Is this for me?
And he even starts to respect you
like real men.
A man can see another from afar!
And you start hinting to him that on the night of December 31st he really should not drive drunk.
Men...
Me driving drunk?
Never!
Pour some more!
So, girls, that plan will not work.
- What do you recommend?
- Yes?
Wait till winter.
And go see him just before the New Year.
Try to catch him there.
We still have bus #20 left.
Well that actually
is the least of all evils.
Let's raise glasses to our valiant bus park!
Listen, lad!
Let's do some more fireworks!
Or I have to start on my bus route right now...
and I'm already... lai-laaa...
Actually, we are deciding a question
of life and death here.
It's bad enough that time is running out, but on top of that we have recruited a bunch of unprofessionals.
But I have good news as well!
Andrey has sent me photos from fashion magazines.
Yes! Next year the in colors are
red and maroon.
Oh, wow! These colors look really great on me!
- Girls!!!
- Rita???
What, "Rita"?
I personally like it.
This message I am sending you just in case communication between us becomes impossible, and you stay in your time. And I here in mine.
I really don't care
that a whole year separates us.
I know
that we will meet.
We had a discussion and came to the conclusion that you will definitely need the help...
of these two heroes.
This is Vadim.
Hi! I'm the smartest one around here.
- How do you feel about smart guys?
- And this is the colored monster, Cat.
Allow me!
By the way, I am the love hero around here
and this was all my idea.
Unlike him, we, in your time, are in Moscow.
Alyona, only Vadim and I will be able to help you.
Andrey is having big problems in Austria.
He'll tell you everything himself, once he comes back.
We thought this and that.
Anyway...
he will be able to arrive only just before New Year.
But you don't worry.
Einstein and I will help you.
Give it here.
Stop bothering my girl.
Only theoretically! In practice she's not your girl yet, even though you love her...
That was a secret...
I'm watching this video for the 4th time.
And I still can't understand:
is it really us?
It's you! You!
That guy on the right...
is definitely the same idiot as you.
If you don't believe me,
then believe my song!
Anyways, you... well, not you, but the you who is there in the future...
that you thinks that all three elements are important: the bus, the oil truck, and the automobile
because each of them carries a negative charge.
Well, I agree...
with that... colleague.
We need your help!
It's easy.
Right, Vadim?
We need to weight everything.
Vadim... What's with you?
- No, of course we will help!
- I said we'll help, so we'll help!
Wait!
- Alyona!
- What do you want?
- I was walking and saw you guys.
- Saw us and keep on walking.
The handsome guy came.
I wanted to ask, is it true?
- What is true?
- That you are planning to stop a car accident?
- Us?
- Fragile little girls?
- Ha-ha 3 times!
- Ridiculous!
Maybe you need help?
Maybe we do.
OCTOBER
NOVEMBER
DECEMBER
Another batch!
Do I need something more racy?
Work it!
Couldn't find a sillier costume?
Found what I could.
I'll give it to Vadim.
- This is for you.
- Happy New Year!
No!
Why do I have to go with Oleg?
Borya! We're leaving.
What about this?
Only out of deep respect
for New Year holiday!
It's all too... unpredictable.
We are here to save the world.
And not to laugh!
What are you laughing at?
[DECEMBER 31st, VADIM'S LABORATORY]
So, should we go over the material? Especially since such a New Year we have never had before,
at least I have not.
So, at 21:50 an oil truck will leave the oil depot in Solnechnogorsk.
I remember.
Our Olya takes on the entire weight
of this assignment.
I'll take care of him.
As to Vitaliy Barinov.
His wife told detectives that they had a fight, and at 22:30 he left home.
She thought he'll get some fresh air and come back.
But he drove off to Moscow.
Guys, Barinov must never reach Moscow.
Forget about him.
We'll take care of it.
And finally bus #20.
It will leave the bus park at 23:15.
Where our team will be waiting for it.
The bus is covered by our exceptional defense.
I will be standing near the place of the accident.
And remember...
At 23:45 by some absurd coincidence the bus, the oil truck, and the drunk driver are supposed to collide.
We must stop them.
- That's all. Take your positions!
- Let's go!
Wait, who's going to get the champagne?
To celebrate our victory?
- We'll ask Masha. - Masha?!
- Yes, Masha.
"I have manicure and high heels,
how can I?..."
- I'll k*ll you!
- "How can I walk on such legs to the grocery store?"
Good luck!
Everyone stay in touch.
SOLECHNOGORSK. OIL DEPOT.
DECEMBER 31st. 5 HOURS TILL THE ACCIDENT.
Are you cold?
Don't get the wrong idea.
It's not you that I'm waiting here for.
Maybe I'll give you a lift?
No.
Thank you!
As you wish.
Stop! Stop!
Stop! Stop!
You don't want to live anymore?
Forgive me.
You wouldn't have some tea?
With sugar.
Maybe even champagne with pineapples?
Are you out working?
Meaning?
Oh, no!
I am a respectable girl!
I got lost,
but I need to get to the city.
Grandmother is waiting for me.
And you're taking her a pirojok
and a pot of butter?
Yes! Butter.
She likes eating it in her sandwiches.
Alright, get in. Frau Madonna.
Neither brains nor shoes.
Oh, mommy!
Why do you have such strong hands?
"I'm so cold!"
- Shut the door.
- Thank you!
SEVERNYI VILLAGE. OUTSIDE BARINOV'S HOME.
So this is the plan...
First, we flatten his tires. If that doesn't work, then a knockout punch to the head.
Darn it.
- But the wife said he'll be coming later.
- Stay calm.
Hey! Do you know the consequences of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol?
Youngsters!
Oh, man.
New Year is the happiest holiday of all.
But the people are so aggressive.
Yeah.
Can you take me to Butovo?
It's not far. Just 100 kilometers.
Am I your taxi or something?
I'll give you a lift to city center.
No!
You can't go to the city center.
There will be a traffic accident there today.
Honestly!
MOSCOW. BUS PARK.
Cops have same ones,
only factory made.
You know, we are also not amateurs.
These ones will cut through to the very center.
- For real?
- Of course.
They're coming!
Don't worry. Be happy.
Listen,
I'm amazed at your self-composure.
You are calm, confident,
and smart.
Now it's time to panic!
New Year drunkards!
Last thing I need is to spend the New Year
in jail because of you!
You all go to hell!
Every New Year it's the same thing!
Now...
we go to our back-up plan.
I'd call it "the reliable one."
You just wait...
We've caught up to faster ones before.
I beg you, my dear man,
can you tell me where Cafe Chadra is located?
Nobody seems to know,
but Nino is waiting for me there.
- Maybe Charka? - Exactly!
- It's just across the road and to the right.
Thank you, dear man!
Nino, I'm coming.
Do you know...
who I am?
Thumbelina?...
Red Riding Hood?
No.
I am your guardian angel.
And I tell you with absolute certainty:
you must not drive on Waterfront.
Where can I drive then?
- On another street.
- I don't know of such a street: "on another."
But you want to welcome in the New Year?
Not really.
Don't have anyone to celebrate with.
No one at all?
They're all scared.
When I get drunk,
I get out of control...
I want to do all sorts of heroics.
When I'm sober, it's boring.
That's why I'm driving the night shift.
- Should we go celebrate?
- No!
Don't be scared. I'm joking.
I'm not a bad guy, really.
Just so...
If you really want,
I even won't drive on Waterfront.
I want it.
Very much.
Hi! Happy New Year!
- Would you hurry up!
- I'm hurrying already!
What the hell!
Thank you! I'll get it myself.
- Rita, what's going on?
- I'm coming!
You say you have strong arms?
That's alright.
Ours are long, though!
No, this is not happening to me!
I am not here!
It's happening to you alright.
Get on the bus, quickly!
Don't stall! Don't block the way!
BUS #20.
Scumbags!
We're holding them up,
until our friends block the road.
Hey, moose!
Have you lost all decency?
I'm not a moose! I'm a squirrel!
Oh, dear people, would you take a look at that?!
He's a squirrel!
Even if you're a skunk,
get off the road!
We won't leave, until we sing!
What are we standing for? Let's go!
- My dinner is getting cold.
- You'll heat it up.
Maybe we should celebrate here?
All together?
You want to live in this bus for
all of next year?
I'm going to get off the bus
right now and show you.
Till you're blue in the face!
Gentleman!
Come over here, please.
There they are.
- Hold this.
- Sure.
So?
Shall we sing?
You know what?
Let us all sing "Purple Fog."
- Maybe a New Year song would be better?
- Not so fast!
Shall we sing?
- You can requests songs at home with your wife.
- But I am not married.
Young man, this is a bus
and not a song request program.
I said "Purple Fog"!
Purple fog
Is floating above us...
Turn around!
Happy New Year.
What happened?
What happened? What happened?
They're having a holiday.
Having fun, as you can see.
- Is it for long?
- For the whole night.
Can't keep still at home.
Alright. Goodbye.
Where do you think you're going?
Turn around! Turn around!
I'll have to do a round.
Go for a drive.
- You're not in a hurry?
- A round is good!
I like long drives.
Have it.
It's for you.
Apple.
Thank you.
I repeat again: move the equipment!
Commander, the brigadier told me that
if I don't pave everything here, I'm finished.
We have written permission.
It's all okay.
To hell with the permission.
Hello, Rita! What's at your end?
We blocked the road. Now we are
holding down our defenses and waiting for the bus.
Hey! What's going on here?
Why getting in the way of people's holiday?
They won't listen to me.
- Quickly clear the road!
- Hey! You're going to scratch our equipment!
I'm going to do more than scratch it!
We didn't agree to this.
What are you doing?
Clear the road now!
Insolent youth!
Dear mother!
Trouble!
Yes!
Vadim, what do you mean "drove by"?
What plan of last resort?
Everyone, stop!
This bus is going to Tel Aviv!
I can't go to Tel Aviv! My dinner is getting cold!
- Maybe we should go to London?
- What London? What are you talking about?
- I need to go to mom!
- You see!
Stop, I said!
Stop!
Mother of a porcupine!
Stop!
Andrey!
Stop us a car!
How can it be?
Go on, stop one!
Hello! Alyona!
OIL TRUCK.
Dear mother! This is Waterfront!
Why did you go here?!
It was all closed over there,
and there's no other road.
I asked you not to go here!
What could I do?
Those people are having a New Year.
- What are we going to do now!
- And what New Year is this? No winter at all.
Stop!
What people!
So, we're catching a car, getting rid of the driver,
and then stopping the bus. Clear?
Stop!
- What's up, animals?
- We...
Where are you going?
- To the Kremlin.
- Will you give us a lift?
The kiddies have been waiting
for us since morning!
Really need to be there.
Alright, get in.
Wait!
My antlers!
BARINOV'S AUTOMOBILE.
Maybe to hell with the Kremlin?
Let's go wish happy New Year to some really great people? And finally have a drink?
Oh no, we make good money
at corporate parties.
- How much?
- $600.
- That's a beastly fee!
- It's 600 rubles!
Oh, okay, that's decent.
Accordion!
That's right, moose!
Play us some!
Play us that...
Across tundra,
Across the wide open road...
Rita, they are all coming here!
And Andrey is on that bus!
Do something!
Get off the road!
Help!
We're all gonna die!
Oh you drunkard!
Hands off the wheel!
Our New Year marathon continues.
There is less and less time remaining until...
the winner appears in our studio.
You won't get away,
you barbarian!
Vadim!
I'll show you!
Come on, come on!
And the first lucky winner who arrives in our studio will receive...
golden disks and this stuffed...
Can I request a song?
Something... rhythmic!
Stop the car!
Go right!
Just try touching my bus.
I'll show you such a New Year's night!
Stop!
Would you just look at that?
Dangerous!
This is nuts!
Vadim?
Stop!
That's it, boys.
Happy New Year!
- Stop!
- Can't you see ice there's on the road?!
Open the door!
Vadim!
Stop!
Andrey!
Mother of a porcupine!
They've all gone nuts!
Oh, the dear boy!
Andrey! Are you alive?!
- What have you done?!
- Andrey!
I think so.
When I saw it coming towards me my knees just gave way. It flew right over me.
We did it!
Now this luck... is real luck!
Big time!
What are you doing here? You're supposed to be waiting for me at Red Square?
Masha will k*ll me! Lend me your phone, I smashed mine against this dude's head.
I have a small car?!
You couldn't see me?!
Was going to buy a phone,
but didn't get there.
Stay here!
Yes! Rita, everything is great!
We did it!
- We rescued everyone!
- Really? - Yes!
- Come join us!
- Alright.
We did it!
We did it!
I wanted to say thank you.
For what?
If you hadn't called out to me, I would've been lying smashed across the radiator right now.
Thank you!
It's nothing.
Why did you all get off the bus? This is going to take long. Get back on the bus!
It's cold here!
Calm down.
Everything is going to be alright.
Hello!
Dear Masha, where are you?
No, Vadim, where are you?
I am standing all alone on Red Square, I have 16 bottles of champagne, and I am wearing high heels! How much longer do I carry all this?
My dear girl,...
if you only knew how much I love you!
Do you hear me?
I love you!
I want to be
the father of your children!
You hear me?
Vadim,...
no one has ever said that to me before.
Listen, I really need to
get out of here.
- I'm running late!
- Vika?
- Hi!
- What are you doing here?
I was driving to my friends' place, then saw there's some traffic accident. I thought maybe I can help.
The traffic accident didn't happen.
Everyone is alive.
It seems there's no way we're
getting out of here quickly.
So like last year we greet in
the New Year together?
I'm not against the idea.
Me too.
I don't even know how
to thank you.
May I give you this gift?
Oh, wow!
Thank you!
And this is for you.
A kaleidoscope!
Happy New Year!
I have this feeling
that we've already met somewhere.
- My name is Andrey, by the way.
- I'm Alyona.
Excuse me,
you are probably already closed?
But there's something
I really really need.
Why closed?
No, we're open.
I was waiting for you in particular.
I have an excellent offer for you...
a phone
and as a gift along with it...
a calling plan of your dreams.
Hooray!
Andrey - MAKSIM MATVEEV
Alyona - VALERIA LANSKAYA
Rita - SVETLANA SUHANOVA
Vadim - EVGENI SLAVSKIY
Cat - Roman Polansky
Olya - MIROSLAVA KARPOVICH
Oleg - STANISLAV BELYAEV
Masha - EKATERINA MALIKOVA
When the young year comes in
And the old year goes away,
Any wish is meant to come true
That's just the kind of night it is!
Everything will become quiet
And still all around...
In anticipation of new days to come,
And all of sudden the snow flake
Will turn into a fire bird in the palm of your hand.
And the New Year
That will be here very soon now...
Will make your wish come true.
If the snowflake doesn't melt,
In the palm of your hand it doesn't melt,
While the clock is striking midnight,
While the clock is striking midnight.
And the New Year
That will be here very soon now...
Will make your wish come true.
If the snowflake doesn't melt,
In the palm of your hand it doesn't melt,
While the clock is striking midnight,
While the clock is striking midnight,
While the clock is striking midnight,
While the clock is striking midnight.
Everyone is already here.
Before our eyes...
Midnight is dancing in the rooms.
If we read time backwards,
The walls with our pain crumble.
Let the old year remember about us
The very best, the most important.
Everything will pass,
The new countdown begins here and now.
Fill home with happiness,
Troubles for later.
If waiting for a miracle,
Even in bad weather.
Holding hands we race down stairs.
Wanting to run towards the New Year.
Fill home with happiness,
Troubles for later.
If waiting for a miracle,
Even in bad weather.
Holding hands we race down stairs.
Wanting to run towards the New Year.
Fill home with happiness,
Troubles for later.
If waiting for a miracle,
Even in bad weather.
Holding hands we race down stairs.
Wanting to run towards the New Year.
