Plot
On New Year's Eve 2007-2008, young Masha and Nastya want to become show business stars. While watching TV, they magically find themselves in the looking glass of the Kingdom of Show Business.
The Kingdom hosts the “Crooked Vision” competition (an allusion to Eurovision), the main event of which is King Yagupop. The producer and director of the competition ask Queen Anidag and the kite Pilifa to send out invitations to the participating countries, but they ignore the request because they themselves want to participate in the competition.
Masha and Nastya become witnesses to the deception, which is why they are forced to try to get into the competition themselves. After many trials and adventures, Masha and Nastya still manage to take part in the competition.
After their performance, prima donna Alla Pugacheva appears, blessing the aspiring singers for a career in show business.
