Roma called immediately.

Hello, Roma?

Yulia thought.

But it was not Roma.

It was Boris.

Her colleague from

Yakutsk branch of the company.

Did the President visit your office today?

- Eleven.

- The President?

- Yes, he did. But what happened?

- Twelve!

What happened is that two hours before the New Year in Kaliningrad,

the chain of six handshakes

had almost reached the President.

Boris had called the right person,

but at the wrong time.

I understood you, Boris.

You have just ruined my life.

Can you imagine that? We can first celebrate New Year here, then jet to Bavly...

- and celebrate it there all over again.

- Awesome!

New Year twice!

Yulia?

Yulia!

Where are you going?

Yulia!

Where are you going?

Can you explain?

Did we upset you? Please forgive us!

Yulia, please, forgive us!

Excellent punch, Peter!

Wait!

Stop! Stop!

UFA to BAVLY - 197km

Stop! Stop!

Let's try it this way.

Are you trying to get killed?

- Take me to Bavly.

- Where?

I'll pay 1,000 rubles. 2,000? 3,000?

How much do you need? 10,000?

I'm not a taxi driver.

I'm a fireman.

I have a fire!

My life is burning down.

It is already New Year in half of the country.

What if the message didn't get to him?

It probably got to him.

He already recorded his speech, right?

Technically, he could record a different speech for a particular part of the country.

Varya.

We are in the most westward city.

After Moscow he has a whole hour to record a new speech. And it only takes a couple of minutes.

It's a small world.

I'm not letting you have her.

Aren't you too late?

It is never too late.

Most importantly I must drink all the ashes before clock strikes 12.

- And because of this nonsense...?

- My Venus is in house 12.

Don't know about your Venus,

but you're definitely a nut case.

If you told me this at the beginning,

I would have taken you to the circus.

Just get me to Bavly first.

After that the circus, the opera, whatever.

I'm not gonna take you anywhere.

I will turn around and

go back home.

It's the New Year after all, a holiday,

and here I am stuck with you.

- Maybe somebody is waiting for me at home.

- Oh really?

Then stop the car.

I will get out and walk on foot,

and you can go wherever.

Get out.

You need to find a good man.

And not chase after superstitions.

Hello! Happy New Year.

Yusuf worked as a handyman

at the orphanage.

I want to send money home.

Enter the recipient's account number.

All his earnings Yusuf sent back home

to Ashgabat.

Enter the amount.

Or at least most of them.

Can I keep 299 rubles?

Thank you.

- Your order.

- Happy New Year, miss! - You too!

And once a year Yusuf had

his own little holiday.

But this time...

Destiny had a surprise for him.

Miss, I'm sorry.

Could you change it, please.

Why go so far to look?

Maybe it's better

to look around you?

Look right. Look left.

I've looked already.

There aren't any.

No good men anywhere.

(song on radio)

Love me the French way,

Since this is so inevitable,

As if you are my very first

As if you are my most gentle.

To make up for everything that was too early,

To make up for everything that was too little

Love me the French way.

I always needed you.

Igor, happy New Year.

This is Yulia Mihailovna.

Remember, you came to

our factory yesterday?

Yulia had called Igor.

An employee

of the President's Cabinet.

There is one little girl.

She is very unlucky.

But she keeps fighting.

And she has almost reached the President.

This phone call could have been the decisive one in the chain of six handshakes,

if it hadn't been for Yusuf.

I understand, but I not Igor.

Wait, where is Igor?

Those immigrants!

Let's go.

Bro, where are you?

Where are you?

KRAYEVAYA HOSPITAL

Good thing I brought a scarf.

Shush, drunk.

You'll scare everyone here.

New Year is coming...

- How can I help you?

- Hello.

Did anyone check in an old lady?

- Mrs. Manya.

- Yes, Mrs. Manya.

About 70 years old.

Yes, they did.

How is she?

You should sit down.

She is no longer with us.

She died?

In some sense she is...

Her head and limbs are okay, but...

Anyways, I had to send her

to the psychiatry unit.

Why?

You see she...

she keeps saying that on the staircase of her home she was hit by a skier.

Hallucinations.

Hallucinations!

Seems like she fell really hard.

Hey, guys.

Who are you to her?

Us?

Nobody.

Yeah, we're nobody.

Happy New Year!

Okay, start the hurricane.

Ready. Set. Go. 5, 4...

Yeah, start.

- Should I call?

- Yes, call!

- I want to hold the board.

- Start now.

- Hello, wave master!

- Hi, Lena!

- I am happy to see you.

- Me too.

We're having a category 8 hurricane here,

excellent weather for surfing.

Misha, maybe you shouldn't?

It sounds dangerous!

I can't hear anything!

Enjoy it! Like I promised!

Misha, wait!

Buenos noches, senorita.

(speaking in Spanish)

[From a Spanish Phrase Book.]

My luggage has been stolen.

[From a Spanish Phrase Book.]

I need to call police.

(in Spanish)

I'm really sorry!

Did you lose something of value?

Misha, Misha, Misha!

Lena, did you see?!

- Guys, I need my ironing board back.

- Just like I promised!

You were great.

Happy New Year!

Misha, give me back my ironing board!

You ruined my ironing board!

Lena!

Lena!

There is no Cuba, I'm just an ordinary college student.

I was just afraid that

you would not want to talk to me.

Lena, I know that

you and I will never meet,

but you must know that...

Lena...

Misha, wait!

Please, don't go.

Tell me where you are?

How do I find you?

Oh! I have no pen or paper with me.

No blank ones, tear off a half.

Thanks a lot.

- Happy New Year.

- It won't work.

Hello.

Excuse me, please.

Four.

Five.

She's making a wish.

Nine.

Ten.

Eleven.

Hurray!

- Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

Please, excuse me.

Excuse me for barging in like this.

- Stay!

- No, no, I can't.

I'll be heading back.

And do forgive me, please.

Yulia realized that she had burned the wrong half of the paper.

And her wish was never made.

Everything had been in vain.

Hello, Ibrahim! It's me, Yusuf!

I need to help one little girl.

She's in real trouble.

You are on Red Square.

He is on Red Square.

Who would have thought that out of everyone it would be Yusuf

who would have a man in the Kremlin.

...who help themselves.

Got the words?!

What are you talking about, Yusuf?

He's way out of my reach.

Sorry, Yusuf. Lots of snow to shovel,

gotta get to work.

Mr. Yusuf.

Who were you talking to?

I have a friend in Moscow.

He works as a street cleaner.

Asked him find the President,

say a big Hello to a little girl.

I feel sorry for her,

kids are picking on her.

Little girl. Varya?

Yes, Varya. How do you know, little devil?

The chain has closed.

Has something happened?

What happened?

Thank you.

I let you down.

He didn't get the message?

Why did I ever listen to you?!

A street cleaner got the message!

Why did you not tell me anything?
