This Merry Planet


This Merry Planet is a 1973 Soviet science fiction-musical television film directed by Yuri Saakov and Yuri Tsvetkov.

Plot

On the eve of the New Year a delegation from space arrives on Earth. The aliens find it difficult to understand what is happening on the planet. By chance they end up at a party of a Soviet scientific research organization.
The aliens are convinced that they will immediately become the center of attention, but, as everyone is dressed up in costumes, their appearance at the evening in the House of Culture does not cause any excitement. They try to prove their extraterrestrial origin, but no one believes them. One young astronomer is trying to bring this extraordinary event to the audience, but also to no avail, and additionally he is deeply mistaken — he mistook earthling for an alien as he was dressed as a "perpetuum mobile".
And only by midnight some of the aliens realize that they had discovered the most beautiful planet in the universe, where people know how to love, rejoice and be sad.
