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.
