Honoring the whimsy of fairy tales and skewering the oppression of Communist rule, this fantasy from Hungary follows the misadventures of two thieves whose pilfering of the czar's treasure from the Bank of St. Petersburg sets in motion a series of bizarre and comic events. Fleeing capture by the Red Army, the crooks try their best not to lose their heads─and, for a while, one of them succeeds! Maksim Sergeyev, Yevgeni Sidikhin star. 86 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Hungarian and Russian; Subtitles: English. In Hungarian and Russian with English subtitles.
