Vykrutasy (English: Quirky Mischief) is a Russian language comedy film directed by Levan Gebriadze with Milla Jovovich and Konstantin Khabensky in the main roles. The premiere was held on February 14, 2011.
Plot
Vyacheslav "Slava" Kolotilov (played by Khabensky), a schoolteacher from a sleepy seaside town by the name of "Palchiki" (Little Fingers) comes to conquer Moscow with a draft of his first novel in hand. But instead, quite by accident, he conquers the heart of a beauty named Nadia (played by Jovovich).
As their wedding approaches, Slava needs only to quit his job and tie up loose ends back in "Palchiki" before returning to Moscow to start a new life with his new bride. However, the day before his wedding he is delayed when he is mistaken for the coach of the town's youth soccer team on the eve of an important tournament. Slava recruits a group of homeless kids who make their living by stealing to play on the team, figuring that with no formal athletic training the team will lose, relieving him of his coaching duties and allowing him to go to Moscow. However, the kids show unexpected heart and talent, winning game after game and forcing Slave to remain in Palchiki while the wedding reception begins without him. With Nadia's ex-fiance Danya (played Ivan Urgant) trying to win her back and his excuses starting to wear thin, Slava tries to do the right thing by both the woman he loves and the kids that are counting on him.
