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.

I remember this movie playing in the background constantly throughout my childhood and now that I finally watched it properly I get why my grandma loves it
