Yuri Laguta, Konstantin Murzenko
Торговец мясом — профессия еще недавно культовая. А теперь — самая обычная. Настройщик рояля — специальность во все времена уникальная и почти никому ненужная. Проститутка, казалось бы, дело другое. Дело всегда нужное, чуть ли не престижное. Но и она, подобно другим героям нового фильма, придумывает себе более актуальное на сегодня ремесло.
