The third instalment in the enormously popular series of New Year’s Eve blockbuster films continues the themes of magic, positive romantic adventures and comic misadventures. This almanac romantic comedy is composed of seven interconnected stories realised by Russia’s best directors focusing on the foibles of modern communication, friendship, psychiatric wards, love and bizarre relationships in contemporary Russia.

In the previous films, the theme was based on enacting the six degrees principle t achieve an impossible dream. Here the theme is ‘boomerang of good’ – a karma-based fairy-tale logic where good actions are rewarded in the future. At the heart of the narrative is the attempt to break up two dogs and their adventures as they seek to reunite in London. A dynamic film that captures a new Russian mentality with an old focus on love.
