Plot
Four friends—Sailor, Actor, Dimati, and Major—reunite after a long separation at a café to celebrate Major’s birthday. However, the celebration is cut short when Major is suddenly kidnapped, and his captors demand a hefty ransom of 1,000,000 euros from his friends.
The friends embark on separate quests to gather the ransom money: Sailor heads to Saint Petersburg to sell someone else's apartment, where Muscovites with a fondness for alcohol are welcome; Dimati spends the entire movie fleeing angry skinheads due to his skin color; Major grows anxious and repeatedly tries to escape, with each attempt failing; and Actor takes part in various TV shows to earn money.
After their attempts to collect the ransom fail, Sailor, Dimati, and Actor regroup by a lake. They decide to travel back in time to prevent Major from getting into the kidnappers’ car. However, they accidentally end up in 1772, during the reign of Catherine the Great, where they steal her crown. Returning to the present with the crown, they approach Major’s captors, only to find out the entire kidnapping was a prank orchestrated by Major’s father to ensure his friends valued him for more than his money.
