The title is slang for counterfeit money. On a boulevard in Odessa a street artist receives a counterfeit banknote. Muratova presents several variations on the theme. Characters have the same name. Grotesque situations develop around mistaken identities and deception, and the storyline about trust is imbued with sarcasm. The intrigue is based on the response of plain folk and pseudo-swindlers. The resulting confusion is equal to that of Gogol. Screened before Second Class Citizens.
