●　You can hardly find a man who does not know the famous novel of I. Ilf and Ye. Petrov. But do you remember funny adventures of the heroes of the given immortal literary work? A former aristocrat Ippolit Vorobianinov leads a miserable life in Soviet Russia. His mother-in-law reveals a secret to him - she hid family diamonds in one of the twelve chairs they once had. Vorobianinov in cooperation with a young con artist Ostap Bender start a long search for the diamonds. The comedy about the search of Madame Petukhova’s jewelry is waiting for you.
