Plot synopsis
The novice DJ Anatole and the world-famous cellist Vladimir Chizhov meet a barefoot man on a noisy Moscow street. Having pressed a button on a strange machine, the characters are transported to the desert planet of Plouke.
This is a cartoon based on the cult film Kin-Dza-Dza, and is no less captivating or comical than the original. It tells the story of the adventures of young Anatole and his uncle Vova. In this world of sand, the inhabitants are divided into two categories: the Patsaks and the Ploukanais. A simple match is of inestimable value and people recognize and distinguish each other by the color of their pants.
