Humoristinen Näkemiin Neuvostoliitto kertoo inkerinsuomalaisen Tarkkisen perheen värikkäistä vaiheista Neuvosto-Viron viimeisinä vuosina. Salaperäiseen Leningrad-3-kaupunkiin sekä 80- ja 90-luvun taitteen Tallinnaan sijoittuva draamakomedia on ensimmäinen inkerinsuomalainen pitkä näytelmäelokuva.
Elokuvassa nuoren Johanneksen (Niklas Kouzmitchev) vapaamielinen opiskelijaäiti (Nika Savolainen) on kallellaan länteen, kun taas isoäiti (Ülle Kaljuste) haluaisi pojasta kunnon neuvostokansalaisen. Omintakeinen perhe natisee liitoksissaan ja Viro kipuilee itsenäistymisen kanssa samalla kun nuoren Johanneksen omat kasvukivut käyvät yhä kovemmiksi. Äidin lähtö Suomeen ja ensirakkaus tšetšeenityttö Veraan (Elene Baratashvili) mullistavat pojan elämän.

Erik (11) is convinced he has a stone for a heart. That’s why he doesn’t mind that his parents have no time for him, or that he is bullied at school, or that he has no real friends.
When his family moves to a villa they inherited, he is confronted by Maria (11) whom Erik’s parents want to kick out along with her father. Maria refuses to move and promises to make Erik’s life a living hell.
As a last attempt to defeat Erik, Maria goes to look for her mother who disappeared two years ago. Together they end up on a fantastical journey to the In-Between-World and Erik learns how hard it really is to wear a heart of stone.
