Described as “Mad Max meets Monty Python by way of Tarkovsky,” this genre-bending Soviet satire tells the story of Vova, a foreman from Moscow who meets a homeless man armed with a teleportation device and a strange request: “Tell me the number of your planet in the tenture? Or at least the number of your galaxy in the spiral?” A young Georgian student (“the Violinist”) steps in. Taking matters into his own hands, he presses a random button, which transports the two to the planet Pluke in the galaxy of Kin-dza-dza! They spend the rest of the film trying to get back.
