Synopsis
A group of friends in Moscow get blind drunk while partying at a Turkish bath on New Year's Eve. One of them is supposed to fly home to Leningrad to join his wife to celebrate the New Year, but by mistake they send Muscovite Zhenya instead, who is too drunk to notice. Arriving in Leningrad, Zhenya takes a taxi to a street bearing the same name and looking identical to his own region of Moscow. He makes his way to the fourth floor, lets himself into what he believes is his flat with a key that works without a hitch, undresses and goes to bed. Things become unglued when the flat's owner, Nadya, returns to her apartment.
