Englisch I don't know what Igor Kovaljov's relationship with his wife was like before making this film, but I assume that it probably significantly worsened afterward, or she must have had an incredible sense of humor. To Kovaljov's credit, or rather as an apology, he doesn't spare himself either, and his character is not only depicted disgustingly but also behaves disgustingly. It is a thirteen-minute satire on the theme of marital stereotypes and relationships, where a devoted wife taking care of a comfortable man degenerates into a plump hen. Naturally, the husband doesn't like it, so he arrogantly kicks her out of the house, only to painfully realize later that a caring hen is better than trash in the living room and a disgusting parasite in the kitchen. Overall impression: 80%. The visual aspect may elicit feelings of disgust in some, but that was the intention. ()
