English title: The Tuner
Inspired by the memoirs of Arkady Franzevich Koshko (1867-1928), a Russian police detective.
Close friends Lyuba and Anna are middle-aged and well-off. Lyuba places ads in the paper looking for a husband, but she always meets the wrong kind of men, who take her money and disappear. Anna and Lyuba befriend Andrei, a piano tuner and con man. Andrei and his girlfriend see in widow Anna a potential target of their scams.
Meandering farce in black-and-white, occasionally amusing but overlong and eventually tiresome.
