Salve Papa!

Summary:
One with a star: Kaminer goes to school. Kids just think differently. They climb on the ironing board around the apartment, but they refuse to practice swimming in shallow water. They learn Finnish on the side thanks to multilingual DVDs, but in Latin class, it’s all over after the first "Salve." They auction their lollipops on the schoolyard and understand the laws of the market economy almost intuitively, but they struggle with arithmetic. For parents, navigating their children's world isn't always easy. To avoid losing their minds, there's only one thing to do: humor. And Wladimir Kaminer has plenty of it. Children, chaos, and the Kremlin Santa Claus - the new Kaminer is in a class of its own!
