This time on New Year, the favourite heroes of “Yolki” perform the usual nonsense and hope for a miracle. Borya needs to somehow restore family happiness, and for its sake is ready to steal a penguin from his best friend Zhenya. The Skier and Snowboarder have not matured and stage a mad chase for a Christmas tree. Manya learns how to use the Internet in the hope of finding her old love. The professor from Yekaterinburg has settled down, but now he goes mad from jealousy. In the far North a safety engineer must take a risk and, at last, confess his love. The bloggers who remained with- out Internet have to get out of a lift. Well, and the penguin simply needs to sit down urgently on an egg...
Based on the true story of a pilot awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union Award. Devyataev was a war pilot enrolled in active duty on day one of WWII. He shot down 9 enemy planes. On July 13, 1944, near the city of Lvov, he had to parachute and got captured. Imprisoned at Lodzi, Zaksenhausen and Usedom camps on February 8, 1945, he hijacked a German bomber at Penemunde airbase and escaped saving 9 of his friends. Without knowing it, Devyataev escaped on a bomber that had a secret weapon in its cargo bay. That left Hitler no chance to win WWII.
On New Year’s Eve, the father of the family, a research associate, was fired and, in a desperate search for money for New Year presents to his family, he begins to play poker in the hope of an easy win. He would be very much surprised to find out that his main gambling opponent is his dearest wife that has won back the family budget spent by the humble husband.
