Пять интересных фактов о украинской комедии «Поезд в 31 декабря».

On January 1, the Ukrainian comedy "Train to December 31" will be released. Currently, pre-premiere screenings are taking place. This journey was supposed to be an ordinary, quiet trip, or at least that's what conductor Mykola Ivanovych thought. However, fate had other plans.

On this special day, passengers traveling from Kyiv to Lviv were completely opposite to each other, taking seats in the same carriage. That night, the carriage would host a runaway bride, a couple on the verge of divorce, a hyperactive pregnant woman, and an introverted accountant who is hard to communicate with. Instead of the longed-for tranquility, the conductor tries to ease the tension, but even the restaurant car staff adds spice and chaos. It seems that the train sensed this tension and got stuck in a deserted field.
