My son Carlos has just been born. He is the sweetest of babies, but his grandmother is very sorry that he was born with dark skin. Grandfather Sergey Mikhailovich wants to drink to the health of his grandson and celebrate this event, but grandmother doesn’t allow him to drink. Grandfather wants Carlos to know that he was born in the Great Russian Empire. This is Carlos’s first New Year’s Day, and I made a movie so that he would remember it, and to talk about the hilarious and painful things happening in my new family.
