Facts: No.1 Russian Box Office Hit

In Kaliningrad the children of an orphanage are preparing for New Years Eve celebrations. Varya tells the other kids that she does have a father, but that he has to keep it secret because he is the Russian President. Of course they don't believe her, but tell her to ask her 'father' to pass on a secret encoded message as part of his televised address to the nation. Varya's friend Vova decides to save her from ridicule and by using the system of six degrees of separation get the message to the President. Across the entire country a diverse range of characters come together in various ways to help the girl: a love-lorn taxi driver and a pop star, and businessman and an actor, a snowboarder and his arch-rival a downhill skier, a student and a pensioner, a fireman and a headmistress, a thief and a cop, a downtrodden refugee and the President. They all have to negotiate tricky personal situations. They all need a miracle. The king of the Russian box office, Timur Bekmambetov (Irony of Fate, Night Watch) produced and directed this film almanac, a kind of Russian Love Actually, where diverse characters find themselves intertwined in a gloriously warm-hearted comedy.
