Let me have a look.
An ordinary system.

Hi
Hi - what's new?
Manohin had a pipe burst at the factory.
How's the star schoolboy?
He's out playing...
Vovka, pop out for some bread - I forgot it, can you?
Have we enough macaroni?
Comrade...
How do I get to the Old Arbat?
That way, to the right.
Thank you.
...Skripach?
Uncle Vova?
...Skripach!
Uncle Vova!
Mama, mama, what shall I do?

- Hi
- Hi
- How was your day?
- Pipes burst at Manukhin's building site
[ Unknown and long-forgotten
song from an old movie
With exquisitely dumb lyrics ]
" Mama, mama, what shall we do now?
Winter's coming. Freezing all day long "
" You could use a warmer woolen scarf, and
I don't have a winter coat at all "
- How's our 'excellent student'?
- He's out with friends
Vovka! Go buy some bread. I forgot
Oh, and buy some noodles too
Comrade, that man over there says he's from
another planet. We have to do something
Just report him
I will, but he's almost barefoot
he'll catch a cold
- How do you do!
- How do you do
Please excuse the bad smell
- It's cold here. I found this in a container
- Way to go!
Friend!   Please tell me your
planet number in Tenture,
or at least the galaxy
number in The Spiral
I engaged the wrong keys
and now I can't return home
Well, my dear fellow...
We don't remember the number
Look, let's send this guy
to the information office,
and we'll wait for him
together in the bakery, okay?
- You can put these on
- Uh-huh... Thank you
Look, friends
There's no need for a bakery...
or information office
This is my planet:
Uzm, 247 in Tenture
Galaxy Beta in The Spiral
This is my space-
transportation gadget
But which keys should I engage
to get transported home?
Since time is relative...
You do understand that, right?
OK, my friend. I have a proposition
We "engage the keys" now...
and get transported
to your place
But if your little
gizmo doesn't work...
you will be transported
to where we transport you. Deal?
No, you can't do it
without knowledge
Sure we can
And you, what do you see? Huh?
- Sand...
- So the frickin' gizmo worked
And that freak with a grater,
did he stay behind?!
Keep calm! Just keep calm
We have sun, sand...
and we have gravity
- Where are we? We are on Earth, or...
- Or?..
No, let's assume we're on Earth,
in some desert. Right?
Say, Karakum. Huh?
What other deserts
do we have?
- Gobi, Sahara...
- I said *we* have!
We also have... Kyzylkum
No
We'll assume it's Karakum. Huh?
So, the sun is to the west,
Ashgabad-city must be there
Understood?
Let's go
Come on! Let's go
Comrade,
what is your name?
Vladimir Nikolaevich
- My name is Gedevan
- 'Pleased to meet you'
You have a bottle in
your bag. Is it wine?
Nah... It's vinegar
I also have some
herbs and spices
We're all set then
Vladimir Nikolaevich, do you
remember the number he mentioned?
- The man I gave my sock to
- No
Maybe we're on his planet?
Listen, Fiddler...
We can guess all we want
That won't change a frickin' thing!
We've chosen a direction
and we keep walking
We just need to get to
the water. Clear?
Vladimir Nikolaevich,
I want to change into slippers
- Well, do it!
- Stop walking please!
- What time is it?
- Four
- In the morning?
- In the morning
Are you late
for something?
It's
