A stolen Cadillac, a hostage goose, and Penza's worst hotel scheme — Russian chaos at its finest.
Max steals a collectible Cadillac from a local reputable businessman, Herman Eduardovich. Gus is trying to help his friend, even though he was taken hostage and forced to clean up unattended garages, on the site of which Herman Eduardovich decided to build the best hotel in Penza. The goose falls under the command of Mikhalych, who also looks after the student of nuclear physicist Funtik. He's working off his sins here too.
Acting
Kologrivyy and Karpuk's desperate chemistry keeps this barely afloat.
Writing
The nuclear physicist side plot is unhinged in the best way.
Director
Denis Pavlov
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Denis Pavlov previously worked primarily in television; this marks his rare theatrical feature attempt.
Penza, a real Russian city of 500,000, rarely appears on screen — locals reportedly found the 'best hotel' joke particularly rich.
