Afonya(1975)

Afonya is a Soviet comedy-drama about a carefree plumber whose reckless lifestyle catches up with him. Afonya Borshev drinks heavily, chases women, and ignores the wreckage around him—his wife has left, his job is on the line, and his world is crumbling. Too caught up in the moment to notice, he meets Katya at a dance club and dismisses her without a second thought. Yet Katya may be the only person capable of pulling him back from the edge. The film explores how one woman's patience and care can challenge a man's stubborn refusal to grow up, blending humor with genuine emotional stakes as Afonya faces the consequences of his choices.
