A Friend of the Deceased
1997, Russian. Directed by Leonid Boyko & Viacheslav Kryshtofovych.
The era of wild capitalism was on the rise when Anatolii's wife left him. His life changes as he meets his former classmate Dima, now a successful businessman. The young man becomes involved in the murder of the killer. This ill-considered step leads to a series of strange coincidences, which eventually lead the hero to two completely different women - a young harlot and a single widow, whose husband died because of Anatolii.
