Show Overview

A hilarious silent comedy from Russia!

Join the mischievous twin brothers, Chook and Gek, as they embark on a wild adventure with their scatterbrained mother through a treacherous icy world. Facing towering icebergs, raging seas, and fierce blizzards, their mission is to find their long-lost father. The brothers bicker and fight, turning even a worn-out shoe into a weapon, thinking they have all the answers but often finding themselves in trouble, much to their mother's amusement and despair. Will this trio's laugh-filled journey lead them to their dad?
