Stars in Siberia

A large company from Siberia invites top stars of Russian show business to a New Year's corporate party.

The stars are in for some tough tests: Svetlakov and Brekotkin will test their friendship for strength, Klava Koka will be left without social networks, Olga Buzova will end up in a large family of Evenk hunters, and Timur Batrutdinov will drink a love potion in the house of a Siberian healer.
