Yolki 2

Yolki

Not so many holidays are celebrated nation-wide in Russia.

Usually it's any win for Russia's national soccer team and the New Years Eve.

Since the second happens so much more often that's the one our story will be about.

It just so happens that Russia stretches across the globe with 9 time zones.

When Olivie salad is already being eaten in Vladivostok,

someone is only starting to cut the vegetables for it in Kaliningrad.

Our story begins here in Kaliningrad, the most westward city.

Here, where children have to wait for Santa the longest time,

our story begins.

Oreshkin, where the heck are you?

- Need a hand with that?

- Get lost!

I need a hand over here.

Sure.

Murom!

Moscow.

Arkhangelsk.

Kaluga.

- Ashgabat.

- Yusuf, Ashgabat is not a Russian city.

My daughter lives there,

she's growing up so fast.

Look! He's here!

We are playing "Cities" here,

your city starts with "N."

Novosibirsk.

- Kineshma!

- What?

You're a "Kineshma"!

My dad has been there.

How could he have been there, when you said he was in Ufa earlier.

Not Ufa, but in Finland.

Finland? She said he was in Yakutsk!

My stepdad sent me some chocolate covered pineapples.

Why didn't you say anything?

- Bring them here!

- OK, one second.

Look, what's in the newspaper!

President of Russia visits cities on the Volga River.

And he paid special attention

to the city of Kineshma.

Let me see that.

On December 27th the President went to Sochi to meet with the mayor.

And then he went to Ufa, Yakutsk, Finland.

On 30th December the President went to Finland.

What does this mean?

She made it all up. She took everything from the newspaper.

She looked at where the President went and told us that her dad went there.

- And we all fell for it.

- How could she have done that?

He is my father.

Huh?!

I just could not talk about it.

Great! Then have your daddy say something to you during his New Years Eve speech.

Something like:
"Hello, Varya!"

He can't say that on TV.

Well then...

then have him say...

"Santa helps those who help themselves!"

Otherwise no one will ever speak to you.

Nobody... ever again!

- OK. He will say it.

- We'll see...

Vova had no idea

how to help poor Varya.

Is it even possible to change the New Year Eve speech of the President of Russia?

Meanwhile, at the other end of the country

in the far away sunny city of Yakutsk

a man who could possibly help Vova was exiting the sauna.

Boris, aren't you scared that your Olya...

- would leave you for another man?

- Why would she?

Well, she'll have to celebrate the New Year with someone else.

The person you spend New Years with is who you will be with for the rest of the year.

For 6 months Boris has not been to St. Petersburg and has not seen his girlfriend.

Hey, Olya? Hi!

Guess what happened

earlier today?

Yesterday the President visited Ufa,

and our stocks immediately! Immediately!

Immediately jumped up by 15 percent...

But that's not the main thing.

The main thing that now I...

I will be back not on April 20th,

but on the 4th of March.

Olya, we've been through this a thousand times. I'm not doing it for myself.

It's for both of us.

Celebrate just this once without me,

and I will be back soon.

- Everything will be what?

- Everything will be ve-ry good.

I deposited some money into your account, buy yourself something...

something really nice.

By the way, will you be celebrating

with Antomonovs?

No.

But don't worry, I have somebody

to celebrate with.

What do you mean?

Olya, I didn't get that.

Olya, are you seeing someone?

Boris, sorry, I think the battery is dying.

Olya!

Her battery is dying...

- Olya!

- The number cannot be reached...

Very well.

Hey, accountants!

Where are you guys going?

We decided to take a holiday!

Wanna come with us?

Stop! Stop!

- Hey... I need to go to...

- To the airport?

Yes!

Quickly please.

Boris kept on hoping that Olya

still loves him and is waiting for him.

But the taxi cab driver Pasha from Krasnoyarsk...

... had nothing to hope for.

Think about it...

We'll be having some really hot

snow maidens over there.

Not enough Santas though.

I'll give my season's greetings

to 2-3 snow maidens,

but there's too many for me

to make all of them happy.

No, I have my own snow maiden.

Hold on.

That's Vera Brezhneva!

Give me a break!

I had the same thing when I was a kid.

I had a crush on Mila Jovovich!

C'mon, are you serious?

So just how do you see her being with you?

You just drive down the road one day...

And, wow! There she is just standing

on the side of the road.

"Can you get me to club Nirvana, chief?

I'm late for my show."

Tough case.

Miracles don't happen.

Hey chief, to club Nirvana fast.

We're running late...

Can you do that? Great!

Seems like Pasha finally caught

lady luck by the tail.

Meanwhile in Ekaterinburg...

Pasha's uncle, the police captain Sinitsyn,

caught someone else...

for something else.

Hey Ravil!

I let the boys off to go get food.

They will book him, when they come back.

With all due respect sir

why do you put an innocent man...

behind bars on New Year's Eve?

Is that fair?

Look at you talk! Fair!

You robbing the jewelry store...

in my district...

on New Year's Eve

is that fair?

They won't promote you to major

for this anyway.

I am not guilty, you know that.

You don't even have any evidence.

- The sales clerk pointed right at you.

- I was just getting a gift for my friends.

Your friends are eating dead meat in the ditch.

So why did you not buy it?

- With what?

- Then why were you there?

- Just checking out price.

- So was the price right?

Let's go.

I'm going to make the money and buy it later.

I am looking for a job right now.

- Why don't you believe me?

- It's raining.

- Can you hear it?

- No.

You can't? That's because

it's not really raining. Know why?

It's the jail missing you and crying.

- Not funny.

- But it's true!

Zaitsev, you are a thief.

Your face says it all.

And where should a thief be?

That's right.

I didn't take that necklace.

Beautiful.

That night Lyosha Zaitsev

was not the only one to get caught.

In the city of Ufa Yulia's fiance

was caught up in work

by his enormous love of work.

Meanwhile Yulia went to buy

her fiance's favorite champagne.

- Oh, I'm sorry!

- Sorry!

Happy New Year!

OK, see you at 10.

OK, bye.

Dear girls, no need to despair, if one day

you come across one of these fake fiances.

Because only a real man

will be able to change your life.

- Varya, I know what we need to do.

- So do I.

No one will ever see me here again.

- No, for the President to say those words!

- Yeah right!

There is a theory of the six handshakes.

All people in this world know each other through six people.

Look here!

This is you.

This is the President.

You know someone.

He knows someone else.

He knows someone,

and he knows someone.

And eventually you can reach the President.

Get it?

You don't believe me.

Alright.
