Званый ужин

The families of the Myasnikovs and Semenovs, whose children are in love with each other, come together to celebrate the New Year. There is only one problem: some are avid meat-eaters, and the second are convinced vegetarians. What absurd and ridiculous situations can a meeting of such different, but at the same time close people lead to?

Directed by Olga Dobromyslova, Званый ужин leans on a strong ensemble — Grigory Baranov, Elena Strazhnikova, Sergey Zaikin — 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 2019.
