About Friends of Games and Jokes
There was an important event in the Khudyakov family - the eldest daughter gave birth to a son. However, the young mother flatly refuses to name the child's father. In order to give his grandson a middle name, Khudyakov instructs his son to find the father of the newborn.
Directed by Mikhail Nikitin, Friends of Games and Jokes leans on a strong ensemble — Sergey Vlasov, Leonid Dyachkov, Lidiya Fedoseyeva-Shukshina — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1981.
