A group of friends celebrates New Year's Eve at their favorite public bathhouse, where excessive drinking leads to two of them passing out. Sasha needs to travel to Leningrad, but Zhenya mistakenly takes his place. Awakening at the airport, Zhenya, disoriented and thinking he’s still in Moscow, hops into a cab and heads home.
