NRThere are several eight-thousand-meter peaks on our planet that are far more dangerous and difficult than Everest. The most formidable of them is K2 — 8,611 meters high, the mountain of mountains. This film explores why K2, rather than Everest, is the ultimate dream of climbers, and how extreme altitude changes people. The mountain of mountains is the best place on Earth to test your altitude gene. For the first time in history, the largest Russian expedition ever assembled is heading to K2, and most of its members are amateurs. Each of them already has experience climbing eight-thousand-meter peaks, and many have successfully summited Everest. But compared to this mountain, Everest will seem like a walk in the park.

According to the plot, the main characters (Shurik, Bunsha, Zina and Ulyana Andreyevna) are going to celebrate New Year's Eve, and the engineer Alexander Sergeyevich Timofeev (Shurik) decides to present his recreated (and modernized) time machine to the guests. Having gone to the XVI century, they find there an aged Georges Miloslavsky, who has been sitting as regent for 25 years instead of Ivan the Terrible, who has run away; the Tsar was so inspired by the profession of Zina and Yakin that he decided to try his hand at filmmaking and went to "Mosfilm" instead of the Tsar's chambers. In an effort to correct the disruption of the course of history, the heroes re-engage the time machine and travel back to the 1970s in search of the Tsar, who dreams of becoming an actor.
