A very worried man comes to a hospital and asks the staff to issue a death certificate for his mother, who he claims is dead. This lovely short is made of footage that was not included in the final cut of The Tuner and features one of its leading characters (nurse Luba). A perfect prologue to Muratova’s epic tale about tricks and tricksters. Screened before The Tuner.
