This Merry Planet
1973, Russian. Directed by Yuri Saakov & Yuri Tsvetkov.
Three cynical and emotionally detached aliens arrive on earth on New Year's eve with the mission of exploring and studying human behaviour but inevitably get pulled into a hillarious, nonsensical plot which makes them realize just how wonderful earth life can be with all its quirks, drama and humour.
