The title means approximately (difficult to translate) "A New Year Turmoil" (seems to be closest). Other translations could be: "A New Year Alarm", "A New Year Commotion", or "A New Year Flurry" or something like that. This movie was filmed in Latvian and translated into Russian and widely broadcasted during Christmas. The movie is a famnily drama set in 1935 when Latvia was an independent country--before they were invaded by the Soviet Union. The boy in the film gets into trouble and his mom makes him wear short pants and long stockings which he objects to because he thinks that he is to old. It is not a big punishment for him, but he is not at all happy about it. Finally his mother forgives him and he is able to wear lomng trousers for Christmas.
