Kin-dza-dza!
Directed by Georgiy Daneliya
Produced by Mosfilm
A surreal, darkly comedic Soviet sci-fi odyssey that uses alien absurdity and language barriers to satirize totalitarianism and human nature.
Two Soviet humans previously unknown to each other are transported to the planet Pluke in the Kin-dza-dza galaxy due to a chance encounter with an alien teleportation device. They must come to grips with a language barrier and Plukian social norms (not to mention the laws of space and time) if they ever hope to return to Earth.
