Operation Y and Other Shurik's Adventures
Directed by Leonid Gaidai
Produced by Mosfilm
A lighthearted, episodic comedy about a bumbling Soviet student whose naive charm and quick thinking get him through absurd predicaments with warmth and humor.
The film consists of three independent parts: "Workmate", "Déjà vu" and "Operation Y". The plot follows the adventures of Shurik, the naive and nerdy Soviet student who often gets into ludicrous situations but always finds a way out very neatly.
