- Summary
- Andrei, the hero of this "sad comedy," is a mild-mannered English translator and university professor living in Leningrad who finds himself unable to juggle his professional duties with the mounting confusion of his personal life. Not wishing to cause pain to anyone, he is, nonetheless, at the vortex of an imbroglio involving his loving wife, a demanding mistress, a wretched colleague, indifferent students, and a visiting professor who calls for him each day for a morning jog. In his efforts to please everyone, he satisfies none and the routines of his existence unravel. When his wife and mistress leave him, Andrei resolves to transform himself into a new man, only to have his spouse and lover eventually return. Jogging with Professor Hansen resumes; life has come full circle. Danelia's understated comedy combines humor with social commentary to subtley satirize the bourgeois stolidity of urban intellectual life.
