The film revolves around a group of wealthyKalmykRussians who, captivated by cinema, decide to showcase a film of the highest artistic value at their children's wedding. They set their sights on a newQuentin Tarantino film, which hasn't yet been released. Tarantino, portrayed by actorYegor Barinov, becomes the target of their scheme.
To secure a high-quality copy of the film, the Kalmyks dispatch representatives to the United States. Their first attempt at stealing the film ends in failure. For their second attempt, they recruit a film critic known as "Fellini" and a young adventurer named Max. However, the operation ends in complete disaster.
