Office rage meets New Year's Eve: three Russians plot the ultimate performance review.
Three friends - a police officer from the traffic police Nika, a family man and a marketer Stas and a seller of children's toys Tyomich - decide to arrange a gift for themselves for the New Year: to deal with their bosses, who got them incredibly. They only have 24 hours to plan three perfect murders.

Mariya Arnaut's deadpan desperation as traffic cop Nika is *chef's kiss*.

Three murder plots, zero competence, maximum cringe-comedy gold.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'office revenge' genre exploded in post-Soviet cinema as economic precarity made worker-boss tensions viscerally relatable.
Director Zotov apparently encouraged improvised panic in the final act—those sweating close-ups? Method suffering.
