Finally, he gets a communal room in the apartment of Gorokhov (Victor Mikhalkov). The room’s previous inhabitant, an old lady, has died a year ago, and yet her cat, Maxi, is still in the locked room, healthy and fat. Soon, Nikolai and his neighbours discover the mystery: there is a window to Paris in the room.
