A composer brings his mistress home to live with his wife. What could go wrong?
An aging composer, caressed by fame, realizes that his finest hour has passed. And in his troubles, the creator blames first of all his wife Elena. To return the capricious muse, Eugene brings a young mistress, a student of the conservatory, into the house. And the wife has to put up with the fact that from now on she will live under the same roof with the "doves."
Acting
Livanov's crumbling composer ego is gloriously insufferable.
Director
Akhtem Seitablaiev
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title nods to chamber music structure — four voices, intimate tension, no escape. Very Russian.
Seitablaiev adapts this from a stage play, which explains the claustrophobic domestic warfare and theatrical dialogue.
