A group of Swedish tourists are on the way to a Russian village to witness the so called 'Festivity of Neptunus', in which the inhabitants take a dive in a hole in the ice. This tradition, however, does not exist at all. The inhabitants try to make a good impression by starting the 'tradition' to please the tourists.

This poetic core in youngsters is also touched in Stanukina's less known Your very personal poetry (Свои, совсем особые стихи, 1982), a wonderful film about a poetry class. It is here that one recalls Kogan's admiration of Lyalya's emotional documentary skills. And it is here that one recalls Kosakovsky's depiction of Lyalya as a person of extraordinarily prosperous feelings, sensitive and energetic, childish and female, shrill and quiet.

Boris Petrovich, a modest employee of the registry office, selflessly and creatively in love with his work. All his life he wishes his fellow countrymen health, happiness, good luck on days of celebrations, comforts them in days of sorrow, but remains a kind eccentric for everyone, giving many reasons for jokes and bullying. But three times in a row his evil wishes come true, accidentally dropped from his lips, and Boris Petrovich begins to be feared and respected.
