Some Like It Cold

• Watchlist

The film begins on the eve of the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. When three 18-year-old students at a prestigious University - Mika (Alexander Vedmensky), Kit (Ilya Glinnikov), and Swift (Alexander Golovin) - dig up dirt on their crazy college principal, the hunt for the would-be blackmailers begins. Fleeing from their pursuers, the three amigos find themselves on the women's snowboarding team bus. They have no choice but to put on the team's brightly colored jackets and blend in with the crowd of snowboarding girls. But the clothes alone won't cut it: as diehard practitioners of extreme sports, they are not about to miss their chance to show off their snowboarding skills. The National Women's Snowboarding Team's trainer Svetlana Nikolayevna (Ekaterina Vilkova) spots the new talent and invites the "girls" to join the team for the trials in Sochi. The friends jump at the chance of free rides on Olympic-grade tracks and once and for all evading the college principal's goons. Meanwhile, the pursuers (Mikhail Trukhin, Dmitry Mukhamadeev) get their mitts on the trio's nerdy friend Groshik (Alexei Zolotovitsky), and take him hostage to Sochi in search of the fugitives. Their journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns, as well as scholarly monologs delivered by Groshik, who is bent on drawing out the trip as much as possible. Meanwhile, the trio's adventures turn into a high-speed romantic journey brimming with excitement and mortal danger.
