Description

Foreman Uncle Vova and Georgian student Gedevan accidentally found themselves on a strange desert planet, Plyuk, in the faraway galaxy “Kin-Dza-Dza”. The planet’s inhabitants looked like humans and understood Russian, because they could read people’s minds, although their own language was pretty limited. Virtually everything, with a rare exception, was expressed by one word – “koo”. The planet’s entire population was divided into two castes: the superior one – “chatlians”, and the lower one – “patsaks”. Uncle Vova and Gedevan, who learned they were patsaks, had been trying throughout the film to get back to Earth, in which they finally succeeded, after many an adventure…
  
  Georgy Daneliya: “After my film “Tears Were Falling”, I felt like making something punkish. And I’ve got an idea – take Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” and place it in outer space: instead of a ship and an island, a rocket and a planet…”
  
  Violinist: - Comrade, there’s a man there who says he’s an alien. We have to do something!
  Vladimir Nikolayevich: - Call the ambulance.
   (Quote from the film)
