What happens

Ku! Kin-dza-dza (Russian: Ку! Кин-дза-дза) is a 2013 Russian animated science fiction film by Georgy Danelia and his last film before his death in 2019. It is an animated remake of Danelia's 1986 live-action film Kin-dza-dza!. Although it preserves much of the original movie's social commentary, Ku! Kin-dza-dza is notably less dark and dystopian than the original, and more targeted towards youth and an international audience. The film is mainly traditionally animated with some computer animation in it. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
