Unbelievable Adventures of Italians in Russia

In a Rome household, an old woman on her deathbed tells her granddaughter Olga (Antonia Santilli) that her treasure has lain hidden for decades in Leningrad, buried near a lion. The news travels past the family, and Giuseppe (Ninetto Davoli) and a crowd of other Italians board flights east, with Andrey Vasilyev (Andrey Mironov) in Leningrad to meet them. Eldar Ryazanov sends them all after the same lion, and each has a head start on someone else.
