Agafia

I grew up watching Richard and Depardeau collaborations. So, their pairing always has a bit of nostalgia attached to the mere pairing of their names together.

This TV short based on Chekhov's writing has a silly plot. In some small Russian town, local sexually unsatisfied women go to the local hobo and feed him for sexual favors he provides to them. One particular woman Agafia decides to go further... The production team did their best to create the Russian ambiance and dress the characters a la Russe.

In the end everything is so terrible, on purpose or not, it's super funny, and tolerable just enough for 20 minutes.
