A Finnish student is writing a book about traditional Russian hunting rituals from the time of the tsars to the present. He joins a seemingly serious hunting party led by a gruff Army general and his friends. The colourful group’s good intentions soon give way to endless drinking rituals, visits to local farm girls, more drinking and absurd encounters with baby bears and livestock that turn the hunt into a comedy of errors. The high jinx of drunken revelry gives an insight into the incomprehensible Russian soul.
