It is New Year's Eve and the employees of a House of Culture are ready with their annual New Year's entertainment program. It includes a lot of dancing and singing, jazz band performance and even magic tricks. Suddenly, an announcement is made that a new director has been appointed and is arriving shortly. Comrade Ogurtsov, the new director, reviews and disapproves of the scheduled entertainment. To him, holiday fun has a different meaning: speakers reading annual reports to show the club's progress over the year and a lecturer speaking for 40 minutes about the possibility of life on the planet Mars. No one wants to change the program with only a few hours before the show, much less to replace it with something so boring. So everyone teams up in order to prevent Ogurtsov from turning a fun event into ... well, "The Soviet Union".

DVD-R is in Russian with hard-encoded English subtitles. Approx. 75 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!
