New Year’s Flight(2015)

New Year’s Eve brings surprises to the residents of both capitals.

On New Year’s Eve, former rock singer turned respectable housewife Vera Pavlovskaya is preparing to spend the night alone. Her husband, a celebrated film director, claims he’s busy with reshoots—but in truth, he’s run off to his young mistress. Meanwhile, well-known journalist Stefania (or Fanya) faces the prospect of ringing in the holiday with the parents of her sweet but unloved fiancé, Petya. Architect Sergey Skvortsov boards a flight from St. Petersburg to Moscow, eager to reunite with his fiancée Laura. And young librarian Bronislava, also from St. Petersburg, dreams of winning the heart of Oleg—Vera and Sergey’s son—even though he’s happily married. But as New Year’s chaos and confusion take over, none of these plans go quite as expected.
