Synopsis
Six Degrees of Celebration 5 (2016) is the fifth chapter in Russia's New Year anthology comedy franchise — watch it online on iFILM with Ivan Urgant, Sergey Svetlakov, and Konstantin Khabensky in the ensemble.
Borya risks his best friendship over a penguin to patch up his marriage. Two middle-aged rivals turn a Christmas tree run into chaos. A grandmother discovers the internet and goes hunting for a love she lost decades ago. An Ekaterinburg professor who thought he'd outgrown jealousy learns otherwise. An Arctic safety engineer finally decides to confess his feelings. And the penguin really just needs to sit on an egg. Seven directors, seven storylines, one chain of coincidences threading the whole thing together.
The formula is familiar by now — warm, gently absurd, built around the Russian New Year. Works fine as a standalone, better if you've seen the earlier entries. Stream Six Degrees of Celebration 5 online on iFILM.
